Sunnew!! This is a greeting in Fulani, but I am trying to pick up a few words. Sorry it has been forever. We have been struggling with electricity for the last 2 weeks, so are loving flashlight dinners and reading by candle light. After spending a week at the Banso hospital, going to a funeral and palliative care launching on my birthday, spending a week in Bamenda I am not where I call home in Mbingo. Though my birthday was my first Saturday I had to work, everyone has been super sweet at calling me, writing me messages, and throwing little parties. Thanks to each of you who made my first birthday in Africa extra special!!
My time in Banso was made terrific as I had a chance to work with two medical students from England and join in their worship and fellowship. In Bamenda I quickly made friends with 4 super sweet girls from German. Of course they wanted to practice English and I wanted to speak German. My mind was going crazy trying to keep Pigeon English, German, and English all straight. I am getting some of the other missionaries in trouble as I have been trying to speak English and am way ahead of them. Now they want lessons from me which I think is hilarious! I truly enjoyed my time in Bamenda working with my supervisor Comfort and with her New Life Groups which are support groups for Commercial Sex Workers. After being in Bangkok, I am a little more comfortable and wonder if God may not have a future calling for me in this direction. Only time will tell. This week I am one of the main speakers for a social work conference the next 3 days, so today is a big preparation. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated as I have new served in such a capacity before. It is good to be "home" at least for this week. It is amazing to me all the people that noticed that I was gone and missed. No one knows the full impression they leave behind. Stay warm hearted and share the love! Eph 1:18-19.
