Want to Come to Cameroon?

Are you  interested in coming to Cameroon to see all that is going on over here? Well now is you chance! Win Our Nations is sending a team to Bamenda on July 5th to the 19th. The team will be building a toilet block at the orphanage plus spending some quality time with the children. They will also be doing evening outreaches in the town with a laser light show. These teams are always a great time of drawing closer to the Lord plus being a huge blessing to the people of this country. I seriously believe that all Christians should go on at least one missions trip so they can see how most of the rest of the world is living and to broaden their perspectives. The team costs $3389 which includes, all travel, lodging, food, and project money (it does not include, your passport, visa, shots, or spending money). I know this can sound like a lot of money but I have found that whatever God orders, He always pay for! It you sign up soon it would give you plenty of time to raise this money. The team will be leaving from Orlando, FL, so you would have to meet the team there. Families are welcome. Click on the website below to print out a brochure:

Please feel free to share this in your church, or with friends and family. There is limited space so first come, first serve. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email and ask me any questions (schilinskiclan@gmail.com) or call the WON office at 321-684-1062. Below are a few pictures from past teams to whet your spirit a bit :D

Jordan Connie

Our little sunshine turned eight months yesterday. She's almost been out as long as she's been in! Jordan certainly brings so much joy to the whole family, she is just so precious. Here are a few things I've noticed so far that are different between baby boys and baby girls (beside the obvious one :D )

-Girls keep you a lot cleaner when you're changing their nappy, I haven't been peed on once! I swear Seth used to wait to go till I took his nappy off.

-Jordan is timid of our dogs, she'll hold onto me a little bit tighter when they walk by. The boys were trying to bite their ears off at this age.

-Jordan gets a diaper rash in about .01 of a second. I never struggled with this with my boys... her sskin is just ssooo ssensative!

-Much more talkative (already!)

-And something else I've never realized before; crawling isn't easy when your wearing a dress.

The rain is on its way!

We had our first rain this week. It hasn't rained since November so it was very welcome. Granted, it was only a few drops, but it was still a blessing. The boys went crazy running around in the garden, hoping it was going to pour. You can see on our dusty grill how little precipitation it really was. But it has rained gently in the night a couple of times since, so the dust is down, praise the Lord! I also don't have to water my garden constantly, phew! 


See what my wonderful husband found at a second hand shop in town... it is a heavy duty meat slicer! We really are becoming quite the butchers, with our industrial meat grinder and pig processing shenanigans. This slicer is a huge blessing though, as you can only buy ham in 5KG chunks here, so obviously we never buy it. But now we can, we'll just slice it, put it into pound packages and freeze; life just became a little bit easier. And yes, I am in my PJ's. Jake came back late after bible school with it so we had to clean it all up and try it out. We slaughter a pig next week so maybe we will slice some belly bacon.
