Spring Update!

Hello Everyone,   It has been a busy past few months. I am going to give you a little overview of what I have been up to! Thanks so much for your support for the last few years.   January— The year started with my family flying to Europe to meet me for Christmas. The rest of January was hard. The family I was living with went on furlough and a new family moved in. They are great but it was a big transition. I also had quite a few student changes in January, two students left and I got four new ones!

February—This month was a busy one for school. We had a special event called “Greenhouse around the World” where community members from around our expat community came and taught the kids about their home countries. The kids “visited” Korea, Cameroon, Switzerland, Australia, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, France, and Canada. The events all led up to a visit to the US embassy here in Cameroon to learn more about the services they provide. The kids got to ask questions about all of the different departments and learn about the ambassador.

March—This was spring break month for us and a special time called JLS. We had two homeschool kids join our class and we learned all about the rainforest (made especially fun since one of the kids lives in the middle of the rainforest!). During spring break, a team comes to provide a special camp for the students while we have branch meetings and retreat time. It was such blessing to learn about what God is doing through Bible translation here in Cameroon. I also got to attend the celebration of 50 years of Bible translation work in Cameroon. What a legacy!

April—April was so busy trying to fit in our last quarter of learning. In class we were focusing on higher reading skills like finding the main theme. We also worked on learning about how to work together and process emotions. Summer means lots of change for these kids since many of them are moving to new places for the coming months or years. I also helped the youth group kids during an overnight at the high school where we spent the evening worshiping and watching The Passion of The Christ. We then started Good Friday with a worship service.

May—May has meant getting ready to end school and say lots of goodbyes. Brianna came to spend my last month here in Cameroon with me so it has been fun showing her my routines and introducing her to my community here. I know many people are curious about what is happening in the future for me (So am I!). I will continue to send out updates and stories about my time in Cameroon as well as my plans for continuing with Wycliffe! Staying tuned for more updates as I continue to walk the path God has set before me.
