I was at the hospital all Wednesday morning with Anna for her first prenatal check up. All went well, praise the Lord, it just took FOR-EV-ER! (7 to 11am). There was a lot of waiting around on hard wooden benches with no backrests (glad I'm not the one pregnant!). But everything seems to be fine with the baby, we go back on Tuesday to get the results of all the tests Anna had and also for her to have an ultra sound so they can determine a due date. Please continue to keep Anna in your prayers.
We had a children workers' meeting this afternoon. It was a little bit sad as my best friend in our church (Jocelyne) told me that her husband has found a job in the Extreme North of Cameroon and they will be leaving next month. We always have had a lot of fun together, our kids are the same age and she's trying to learn English and me French so we've both helped each other out a lot. I am going to miss her so much. But hopefully we will get to go visit them sometime at the end of the year.
There's also another family leaving next month, a missionary family that is heading back to the States after being here for 18 years with Wycliff Translators. They've been such a great help with children's church and they will really be missed. Please pray that the Lord raises up more people to help us with the work of 90+ kids, especially men as the family contained the only two male teachers we had.
Other than the sad news, the meeting went great as we prayed and prepared for our five day children's camp in August. Everyone had terrific ideas of things that we should do and I think that it's going to be an awesome camp. We put out the registration forms next week at church with a limit of a hundred kids, I'm sure it'll fill up fast. It'll be our church's first children's camp, so it's very exciting!
