Final Post of Cameroon

Most people take it easy at the end just heading to the beach for a relaxation before they take the long plane ride home. Not Rev and I! We went to Mutengene and Mboppi so I had a chance to work with the social workers there. Rev also took me to see my former babysitter Sarah Evande whom I had not seen since I was 6. It was wonderful to see her and go to see her husband preaching and having a baptistim. Sarah and I just kept hugging and saying how good it was to see each other. There were no words, but it was specialness none the less! I also had another one of my final wishes come true. Bee Westerman, who had helped me get ready for my trip, her one request what that I go visit her school she started. We made friends with the chaplain's wife at Mutengene and so they gave us a grand tour. (she was really impressed by my pidgin.) What a beautiful place and then because of a mishap,one of the student's ride left without her, so I graciously allowed her to stay with me as there would be a ride the next day. After a long treking adventure, we had her off. I also got to go to 2 graduation parties out of more than 6,000 graduating from Buea. It struck me strange how similar they are to American ones. What a wonderful end to a fabulous internship! I was just inspired how God fulfilled three of my dreams even right at the end. There was also this unexplainable peace around me as I was left on my own to fly back. Because of the prayers of his people, he brought people to surround and encourage me just when I need it which included people from Mboppi, all over Africa, Sweden, Beligium and so on. God has a way of providing even through the snow storm in Chicago and on the road home form Minnepolis. I found my parents and Chris easily and it was just wonderful to embrace them! I am safe at last though considerably frozen with this subzero temps. It now truly feels like Christmas!! Merry Christmas to all thank you for your incredible prayers and taking the time to read about my adventure!! Let me here about your own adventure soon! ;-D Amber
