Greetings on this very HOT Monday. I am sorry I forgot to post on Friday, I have excuses, but won’t use them. So here I am on Monday, putting off planning lessons for this week. I am good at that.
I had fun this last week. I was able to go to one of the hostels two nights to hang out with kids. It was a lot of fun to keep building relationships with them outside of school. Saturday we had our Valentine’s Dance community event. Every class puts on a few community events each year to raise money for them as a class. Part of the money goes toward tithing, part towards their class ‘bank’. It is traditions for the juniors to put on a banquet for the seniors each year so they have to save money for that. Also, the seniors get to go on a class trip each year. I am an advisor for the 10th grade class and they were helping the seniors run the dance, so that meant I was cooking rice and chicken for hours on Saturday. But it was good to be serving with students and getting to know them better. It was also a good patient tester and cultural teacher. The work ethic between Cameroonians and missionaries is very different and can be frustrating to deal with.
Sunday I had a wonderful day of rest.
I had another doctor appointment Friday, hopefully my last one. I was given some more medicine and she thinks all my ulcers and symptoms should be gone in two more weeks at the most. I pray this is so. I am definitely feeling better already.
Well, that is all for now, I finished my newsletter, so you should be getting it soon. Once again, if you do not get it and would like to, please let me know.
Enjoy your week.
