Life in Cameroon is still and adventure each day. I haven’t posted the last 2 weeks because the Internet has been down. Not just here for us, but for ALL of Cameroon. Apparently there is a big Internet cable chord that runs around the western coast of Africa and brings us Internet. Well from what I understand, the chord got severed in the ocean somehow. A ship from South Africa had to come up to fix it. If you are indeed reading this, as I hope, it means it is fixed! Imagine your life without email or going online for 2 weeks. It was odd, but very good. It caused me to slow down as well as go to God with problems/stories/questions instead of friends and family back home. So I can honestly say I am thankful it went down. But I am also very thankful it is back up because I miss you all very much.
Thanksgiving is coming up! It seems odd to be away from the familiar for Thanksgiving, but I still have many, many things to be thankful for. One of those being that I get to spend the holiday with the Covenant Missionaries here. There are several families in the Covenant, both with kids and without, that will be gathering together Thursday afternoon for Dinner, games and fellowship. I will be blessed to be among them. I am even bringing the pumpkin pie. I have never made one on my own before but someone has a can of pumpkin here that I will use. Mmmmmm. I hope all of you have someplace to go and people to be with on Thanksgiving. One thing I am learning here is the true value of family and friends. I pray the lesson will never leave me.
I can’t think of much else to update you on. Life goes on here. Teaching is coming along. I feel more settled without having to teach geometry. There is less stress in my life because of it. After today I have 3.5 days of teaching next week then get a long weekend. Not much time off for the holiday, but enough to enjoy it.
You can pray for health for me. Nothing major has happened, but have been having headaches and some stomach problems this last week. I got tested for malaria and it was negative. It seems to be improving but prayers will always help.
As cold comes in for you, heat comes in for me. It is growing to be the start of the dry season. Which, I understand, is very dusty and hot. Just another adventure to experience here in Cameroon.
I know it is slightly pre-mature, but Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for each one of you!
Blessings and Peace,
AMY
To keep people who care updated on the goings on of my life adventures.
Thank you to all those who supported me!
Thank you so much to all of you who supported me in my year as a missionary in Cameroon. I have been truly blessed by your support and involvement in my life.
