Cameroon 7/10/12

We started out the morning a little earlier since we had about a 40 minute bus ride to Bamenda. My morning started by putting a pot of rainwater on a gas stove to heat up for my bath. It's amazing how little water it actually takes to get clean. Breakfast included a puff puff and a bowl of oatmeal and fresh Cameroonian pineapple. Yum!

Then the team loaded up for the bumpy ride to Bamenda for our first day of HBS! I'm not gonna lie... It was CRAZY!!! I was put in charge of a group of LITTLE kids -- I mean LITTLE! Like probably as little as 2 years old! (not including the babies that the little kids brought!). I think we had roughly 200 kids today. It was so fun and tiring trying to explain games and help the little ones with crafts. The kids had a blast, and I am praying that we will get some things ironed out tomorrow.







After HBS we threw our things into the bus and booked it back to the Sinclairs' for lunch (Mac n' cheese). We all changed our shirts for the teen rally and headed out! The teen rally went very well tonight. It had rained yesterday, and we have been praying that God would hold off the rain today. Miraculously, it literally rained all around us, but did not touch our playing field. God is so good to answer our simple prayers like that! The most incredible part of the evening was getting to lead a little girl named Bongracia to Christ. There were a total of about 10 people saved tonight.


Exhausted, several teammates and I trudged about 15 minutes down these slippery Cameroon roads through the rain back to the house for supper (leftovers and no-bake cookies!). Now we are sitting here putting take-home bags together for tomorrow's HBS.

Pray that we will reap more fruit tomorrow and that God will keep holding off the rain for the youth rally!
