Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week. Our good friends, the Youngs, came up from Yaounde to visit for a few days. They are missionaries with Jaars/Wycliff, Darrel is a pilot. We've missed them a lot since moving to Bamenda so it was great to get some quality time to catch up (our kids had a blast seeing their kids too). 
Thanksgiving Dinner with the Youngs. Also our good missionary friends the Dibbits were there (plus Simon). We all ate way too much!

We went for a picnic by a waterfall


Jake hiked to the top of the waterfall with the kids

The first term of Faith Bible College ends this week. We praise the Lord it has been a great semester. Registration starts this week for term two, please pray that we have good attendance; we are believing that we will see at least another 10 people join. We did hold a Pastor's breakfast to help promote it, it went very well.

Also the last few weeks I have been busy painting my kitchen whenever I've had an evening free. We've been in this house over two years and the kitchen has been very neglected. It badly needed painting when we moved in! We also have started to make cabinets for it. We are making a section every month or so.

I chose a sunny yellow, it seems so bright in there now! And here is the first cabinet we made, Jake designed it. It is so nice not to have to bend down to get my plates and cups out anymore. And this is made out of solid Mahogany! I love living in Africa where this stuff is so easy to get.

I also celebrated my birthday last week, 31! It was a lot more easier than 30, that's for sure. One of my close missionary friends, Val Ham, made me a lovely cake and we all sat out in the garden and ate it so that was very special. I can't remember the last time I had a cake for my birthday. 

Val with my cake, yum!

And of course I had to get one in of our little Jordan, who is now practically crawling! She is just ready to go!
