Jake and Tim are still in Yaounde, they spent the week in difference offices there, trying to get paperwork signed for the 50% tax exoneration for the container coming it. They were hoping it would only take a day or two but now they will have to stay there till Monday till the last paper gets signed. Then they head to Douala to go to the port and start that whole process. So please keep them in your prayers, that all goes smoothly. They need to get it out by the end of Friday or we'll start getting charged a large fee for everyday it sits in the port. So looks like Jake will be gone for another week.
Other than Jake being gone, all is going good here. I do miss having a vehicle, that's for sure. Even walking down to the orphanage and back (only about a mile away) takes it out of me with Jude on my back. It doesn't help that it is super hot right now and extra dusty! We haven't had rain for over two months (not a drop!), I guess that is why it's called dry season :). Anyway, not to complain, it just makes me appreciate my husband (and vehicle) even more :).
For the new year, we decided to divide up the older kids and younger kids for Kid's Club (Tuesdays and Thursday). We still do singing together and then go to seperate classes. Sue Born has taken over the younger kids and I've got the older ones. We are going a lot more in depth, learning how to use the bible plus memorizing the books of the bible. A lot more discussion is going on. It has been going fantastic, they are learning so much already in just a couple of weeks.
BTW, felt the baby kicking the last week or two! We also got to hear the baby's heartbeat at the last dr.'s appointment, very exciting. I am now past the halfway point, yeah! I should be having an ultra sound at the end of the month to see what it is, can't wait!
