This week we were blessed to be visited by the Pastoral Care Team from Commission To Every Nation, our sending organization. We spent an encouraging three days with Bob and Barb Nesbitt, as they make their way across West Africa, visiting, uplifting, and supporting missionaries. It was nice to take a few days off and just hang out, and show them all the work that is going on here. They were a true blessing and inspiration as well as keeping our kids entertained. It is always beneficial to have some outside eyes observe the work that is going on, and to be encouraged and guided from their past experience (such as reminding us how important it is to go out on dates ever so often :D ).

On Tuesday we had our annual Super Bowl Party, I think this was our biggest one yet. There was well over 30 people squeezed into our front room. I'm glad we decided to borrow a projector so everyone could see the game well... and no electric cuts during the game, a miracle! The food and fellowship were awesome.
Next week we head to Buea, a city located on the side of Mount Cameroon. Norbert and I are competing in the annual Race of Hope which will give us the opportunity to scramble up the graveling, steep face of the 13,250ft volcano (hopefully it will stay quiet while we are there). It is 12 miles up, 12 miles down. I have no aspirations of making it all the way to the summit before they start turning people around at the 4 hours mark, but I'm going to give it all I've got and have a great time while I do it.
There is a documentary out about the race, here is a link to the trailer to give you a little taste of what it will be like:
