I made it! I have been in Cameroon for almost three weeks now and have felt so supported by your prayers. The travel could not have gone more smoothly and my health since being here has been great. My transition in these two and a half weeks has been a crazy whirlwind of activity so far. I think the biggest shock to me is that things are so different, and yet at the same time, so similar. Lots of big things in life have changed but my daily routine of sleeping, eating, teaching, and building community are not that different then they were at home.
I have so many things to report on that they will all just have to come slowly. One of the reasons that I am glad that God guided me towards Wycliffe is the community that they have. Coming here, I had people to pick me up at the airport, food waiting in my apartment, buddies to guide me through basic things and meals all week long (and still many more dinner invites). I am so blessed to have arrived into a community that shook my hand while saying, with joy, “We having been praying for you for so long, we are so happy to see you here!”
Also during my first week I managed to find time to set up my classroom and prep for the first week of school. As I type this the first week is already over and the second is beginning. The school staff is an amazing team to be a part of and they have helped me out tremendously. My students are a lovely bunch of kids that are so excited to learn and create things together. I am looking forward to our year of learning.
If this update feels tantalizingly short, it is, but there will be plenty more to follow. Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I truly feel held up by those prayers daily and love reading the many cards that were written for me at my commissioning service. I look forward to keeping you informed about how God is working here in Cameroon.
With Love,
Megan
