Leaving

It's hard to believe in a little over a week we will be leaving Cameroon.  We have enjoyed our time here immensely and did not know when we arrived that our stay here would be so short.

I posted the words to that wonderful Matthew West song again because it just has such an incredibly encouraging message.  May you also be blessed by those words.

Today is unusual in that it has yet to rain. The upside to this fact is that our clothes dry much faster on the line with the sun shining!  I enjoyed a little walk this afternoon in this beautiful, mountainous region. Joel graciously put the girls down for their nap/rest time.

We have only just begun getting to know the missionaries here.  We are still enjoying our visits with them and will miss them so much.  Building relationships with the Cameroonians was also something we were starting to enjoy, as well.  Of course, that takes time and we are quickly running out of that.

Having left home four months ago, we are all more than ready to get settled.  We look forward to what the Lord has for us in Nalerigu.

We fly from Cameroon to Ghana on June 21st.  We arrive in Accra, Ghana that night.  Accra is the captial city of Ghana, located on the coast.  We plan to stay a few nights there to look for supplies.  Our truck is there now waiting for us with our belongings that we had brought from Ghana to Cameroon in the truck.  Even the cab is full of these items.  There is not room for all of us in the truck.  Joel and Colt will drive the roughly 14 hour drive to Nalerigu the same day the girls and I will fly to Tamale, then ride on to Nalerigu.

We so appreciate your continued prayers for us.  Here are some specific requests for those of you who have asked:
-That the details will be quickly worked out for our container to be shipped to Nalerigu, Ghana from the      Cameroon port
-Safe travels for all of us
-For the continued mission work here at Mbingo Hospital
-For the continued mission work at BMC in Nalerigu

We LOVE hearing from you all by email and snail mail.  Some have asked again for our Ghana address.  Here it is:
