D minus 11 days

Well, we are in the final crunch before we leave for Switzerland next week. Much to be done, much is getting done, trying to keep the peace and empty the fridge and cupboards. Voila in a nutshell.

We are doing well, in the midst of all this hectic packing frenzy. Unfortunately Gilles had a disappointing meeting yesterday with his leadership team. This is a major holiday weekend in Cameroon and so traffic and time schedules are unbelievable. Many arrived very late and he was a bit discouraged. He had prepared a sort of “passing the baton” type speech to encourage and launch them and he had to delete that part of the program. Too many details to cover and responsibilities to pass out. It is a good thing God is in charge of it all and we are just here to help Him. We are believing that He will empower these folks to keep on keeping on.


We are praying for the kids’ adjustments to Swtizerland and the US…it is hard for them to grasp that life goes on for friends in those countries while we have been away. They are hoping to find everything exactly as they left it…not!


Hugs, love and SEE YOU SOON!
