Praising the Lord!

· It is so good to be back! My first week in Cameroon was spent in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, going through orientation and meeting and visiting with a lot of the missionaries from there, other parts of the country and neighboring countries.

· On Sunday (April 3) I traveled up to the Northwest and am now settling in Bamenda. Hurray! A missionary family, whom I had the pleasure of getting to know last time I was in Cameroon have opened their home to me.

· Last week I started my orientation at the Bamenda Regional Office (BRO).  Ria (Regional Director) and Fredrick (Office Manager) have been showing me the ropes and are wonderful  to work alongside.

· Yesterday (April 12) I traveled back to Yaoundé with my friends Cam and Valerie Hamm. Wycliffe, or SIL as they call it overseas, is having their branch spiritual retreat. Most of the SIL missionaries from all over the country will be coming into Yaoundé for the retreat, meetings and a three week program for the elementary students.

Please Pray…

· That my walk with the Lord will continue to grow each day.

· Please continue to pray for the people that I’ll be working with and myself, in the office and out in the village. Pray for unity and understanding. That we will be unified and effective.

· For quick understanding of the language in Bamessing, for the project I will be working on. Also understanding and remembering Pidgin and French.

· Sometime next month I will meet with Mr. Bibi. He is on the language committee in Bamessing and for years has been very involved in the development of his language. He will most likely be my main contact here in Bamenda as I work on the grammar.

· That I will be glorifying to the Lord in my work and ministry.

· For my family as they adjust to my being away for this extended period of time.

Thank you for your prayers. Many Blessings!
