Praise God we made it back to Yaoundé on Friday after being out in the bush for just over 3 weeks. I’ve been trying to keep track of all that has been going on whenever the laptop got charged up. Now I just need to sort thru it all and post it when it’s readable, hopefully I can have it all done in the next few days. Unfortunately we had our camera stolen when we were out there so I don’t have any pictures right now:(. The TMI team is coming into Yaoundé on Tuesday and I will get some from them and then post them.
We’ve got a really great team, 21 teenagers from all over N. America plus 4 leaders. One of the leaders was in Iceland with me in ’99 when I was leading a team there (he was on a different team though). Sure is a small world even though we didn’t remember each other:). They’re all really hard working and haven’t heard them complaining about the difficult living conditions. It’s been great to have some “American fellowship.” Each night we have devotions together, I’ve really been enjoying hearing some of the songs we are more familiar with. The stars are so amazingling bright out here, they just cover the whole sky, millions of them. We sing “God of Wonders” almost every night, it truly brings the words to life when you are staring up at God’s awesome creation.
Work on the clinic is going fantastic despite some delays because of rain. The foundations all dug and the rebar’s put in. We’ll be starting to lay blocks today. We were trying to make the blocks ourselves but after 3 days of trying and failing miserably we’ve finally hired a builder to do it and he is almost finished, a huge blessing!
