A quick update from my amazing journey!

Greetings! We are now a week into our 2 week missions trip to the North West province of Cameroon. I feel so blessed to be here and sharing the love of Christ with the people we meet. I feel this trip is the toppings on my year of hard whipped cream. I'm not sure if that analogy makes sense, but just know I am so blessed. I can talk to most people in english which is a huge answer to prayer. I have visited a village and seen first hand the relationship work that goes into learning a language so the Bible can be translated into that language. It is amazing work. Each place we go the students have done various dramas and puppet shows speaking of the love of Christ. God has used us and blessed us. Tomorrow we leave to go into the mountains to live in and work at a Fulani village. We will be serving two widow compounds by helping them with weeding and working in the fields, as well as working with the cattle and animals. We will speak of Christ as much as we can without offending their muslim faith. Please pray that the love and joy of Christ can shine through us and speak louder than our words. The mountains here are green and beautiful! I feel God's presence all around me. Please keep me and my team of 15 students and 5 other leaders in your prayers untill we return a week from today on Sunday the 29th.
This is a wonderful last adventure for me in Cameroon. God knows me so well and knew what I needed.
May the love of God dwell in you all.
Love,
AMY
