Fall Break in the NW Province
We enjoyed a week in Bamenda for our fall break from school. We originally went up to attend (and for Josh to participate in) Wilson and Rose's wedding. You may remember that Wilson is one of our key volunteer leaders. Josh was the ring bearer and it was a beautiful ceremony. Cameroonian weddings are so full of pomp! But this one was also filled with lots of music and dancing. It was a great day. Then we stayed on at the Jackson's for another several days. We even prolonged our trip by a couple of days. We enjoyed picnics, laughing, coffee on the veranda, laughing, good eats, more picnics, horseback riding, and much more laughter. We came back by way of Douala to see the orthodontist which led for a very long day in the car. But God is faithful...we made it safely back home to two very excited dogs!! School started back up yesterday and Josh's grade now stays until 2pm. So, Sam and I have lunch there too and I get a few more hours of work in. We really had a great break and are refreshed as we launch back into the groove.
