Heading to Bamenda

Leaving tomorrow for the NW for about a week. We're hoping to work on the house we will be renting when we move up there in June (painting, cleaning up the yard) as well as talk with the Borns and see what needs to be done to get the ball rolling with Win Our Nations in Cameroon. Really looking forward to it, it's always so much cooler up there and so B-E-A-utiful. It'll be Jude's first trip (6 hours) I think he'll be fine as he loves his little car seat. Jake took the truck in to get lubed before we head out on the trip, while he was there, the electric company came and cut the garage's electric as they hadn't paid there bill. So our truck was stuck, suspended in the air on the lift. After a bit they managed to bypass the meter and hook the electric up so we could get our truck down, I though it was pretty funny.

internet back up!

Had a really nice weekend. Everything has calmed down in Cameroon so had lots of visitors to come and see Jude. On Saturday the youth group came over to see him, about 26 of them. Of course they stayed all afternoon and played basketball and on the trampoline :). They had a lot of fun. Then Sunday afternoon all the ladies that work with the Children at church came over. They had cards and small gifts from the children, it was very sweet. Everyone that has come to visit so far has brought a six pack of bottle water, it must be the Cameroonian gift for babies, not really sure why, but we can sure use it. Jude is doing great by the way, getting bigger everyday and starting to get into a bit of a schedule so I am getting some sleep.

Praise the Lord that things have calmed down around here. Last week we were pretty much stuck in the house all week. After a heavy military presence in town, things got quiet and we were able to go out to church on Sunday and get a bit of shopping (we were getting pretty low on food). There have been some rumors that there may be some more rioting this week but so far so good. The American embassy called the situation "a tensed calm" as there are soldiers everywhere with machine guns keeping the peace. But things are defiantly improving and it seems like the situation is under control. Thank you so much for all your prayers, we really appreciate it!
