Family Update

Hey Everyone,

For those of you who were expecting Cameroon updates, this is not that email this week. I was planning on updating you all about an entirely different thing this week but that post will have to wait because life has an interesting way of happening.

For those of you who don’t know yet, my mom has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This comes as a shock to us all (except for God). She is going to go into surgery on Thursday and we will know more at that time. I do ask for your prayers for her at that time (7:30 PST/GMT -8). Thank you for supporting her in prayer. If you want to hear more about her journey you can follow her blog at jansmithupdates.wordpress.com

I am confident that I am still where God wants me. His path to get me to Cameroon was so clear. I know that I need to trust in His Sovereign power now. I will continue to teach here and love on the amazing kids that He has placed here in my class and school. Being in Cameroon, away from family, is hard but God already knew what was going to happen when he asked me to come. I am going to continue to seek his wisdom on where I need to be but right now I am not planning on coming home until Christmas.

Thank you for partnering with me. I always knew that I needed a team supporting me to go overseas and now the reasons for that are becoming clear. I couldn’t even imagine going through this on my own. Even though I am halfway around the world, I know that my family and me are supported by a large group of people who love and care for me. Your sweet emails and messages are so very encouraging.

I look forward to keeping you all updated about what God is doing in my life and in the ministries at work here in Cameroon.

Love,
Megan
