US Trip Travel Plans

Greetings Brethren! A write this to you, a rather itchy missionary, as I am dealing with a bad case of Chicken Pox. Thank the Lord though, Things are getting better, and I have had a chance, lying down so much, to finalize some details for our upcoming trip to the US. Here is run down of our likely travel plans. As you can see, it is going to be a whirlwind tour, but we are excited for all of you who we will be able to see! Enjoy! (To Navigate map, simply press right or left arrow keys). Thanks

Field Trip to the Wildlife Center!

Last week the school went on a field trip to the Wildlife Center in Limbe, which is about 45 minutes from Buea. Jeremiah, Hannah and the Harris' went to Bamenda on a medical mission and it took longer than expected so unfortunately they missed out. However, it was still a lovely time with the school students and staff!

Headed to the Wildlife Center in 1 of 2 taxis.

Listening to a bit of history about the Wildlife Center before starting our tour.

Here are 2 cages that the animals were kept in before Victoria Zoo became the Limbe Wildlife Center. For more information look at the picture below. 

Gorilla!

Comparing ourselves to the gorilla.

It was fun to watch some of the new new readers read the information about the different animals.

Took this picture through a fence on top of a 1/2 cement wall. God made some strong looking creatures!

The younger children looking through the glass at a python.

Looking at the animals was fun but they don't at all compare to these beautiful faces.

Some of the students have been learning about the days of creation so it was fun to go through each day and remember which one God made animals and people.

Enjoying a snack consisting of fried chicken and french fries.

The drivers, who are also brothers in the Church from 2 different villages we work with, drove us by the Limbe beach which some of the children  had never seen before. It was nice to enjoy the fresh air and get a picture and of course see the kids in awe of God's creation.

Ladies Seminar in the village of Maumu

A few weeks ago I was blessed to be part of a ladies program in a nearby village, Maumu. Ladies from the Church of Christ from all over Cameroon came together for fun and fellowship.

This is one of the 2 villages we have helped minister in where we have to cross a river to get through. SO thankful for a good vehicle to do so.

And through some beautiful palm nut plantations we go.

I was given the topic "Being Soul Winners for Christ" and I thoroughly enjoyed preparing for and teaching the lesson. The lady next to me is translating my lesson into Pidgin. Jeremiah came on Sunday to teach the Lord's Supper devotion and he taught in Pidgin! :)

I enjoyed listening to the other ladies teach as well.

They had a session where some of the ladies taught the others how to make yogurt.

We partnered up to go out into the village for evangelism. Sister Mary was my partner. She went to school at OCC in the States where my great grandfather was a Bible teacher. It's a small world!

We had a Bible study with different people during the reach out session and the lady on the right, Deborah, was the only one that was interested in learning more about the Gospel. 

I took a pic of another group during the outreach session.

The food was delicious! Here I'm eating corn fufu and njamajama.

Eggs and pepper, mmmmmmmm!

We had evening group sessions as well.

I and several other ladies slept in the Church building.

Good morning, Sunshine!

We had early morning devotions by Sis. Mah Dinah.

It was a lovely ladies seminar in Maumu and I was so blessed to be part of it. I'm thankful for the many opportunities and strength God gives us to serve Him here in this beautiful and challenging country of Cameroon.
