Whoa!

Ok ok ok! It is Wed. and I haven't written you people yet! I miss you so much! Thank you for all the encouragement you are giving to me. I love hear what is happening in your lives and in American in general...I sent off my absent t ballot. This is the 2nd time I have voted absent of 2x I have voted for a national election. Sure is funny how that works! ;-D

I arrived in Bamenda last Monday just in time for my German friend Neele's birthday! We had a great celebration including crazy games with potatoes and hitting pans. I think the Camerooneans that came thought we were strange but that didn't keep them from joining in on all the fun!

I went back to the clinic from Monday-Thursday working with my supervisor in our 3 support groups of Commercial Sex Workers. (we took pictures but I don't feel comfortable putting them on the web ask me when I'm home.) We now have 7 in school and 7 to start their apprenticeship this week. They are all motivated and quite eager to learn which is encouraging more people to come. I brought 3 extra Bible to give out so I thought these 3 groups were a perfect fit. They were oh so grateful and you should have heard our worship in the clinic! (i hope other clients where enjoying the praises too! ;-) ) Wednesday, my supervisor Comfort (picture of her and her family) invited me for supper and to learn how to make some traditional food. Man it was tons of work and I didn't get home til 8:30 p.m. Usually in the city I don't go out after 6 p.m., but God took good care of me. On Thursday I came back to work in the counseling office alone and then I went to the village with Dr. Anna on Friday. (other pic) We had a wonderful time and I got see another side of life and enjoy meeting many new friends. The biggest stick of sugar cane (8ft) was given to me for the thanksgiving in church, they loved having me. They have invited me back for this weekend, and they told me that if I don't come, then they are going to all come stay in my room! ;-D My help comes from the Lord! Where can I run where he will not find me??? Thanks for keeping up with me!!
