It’s a hot, muggy night here in Foumban. The temperature got up to the 90s today—seriously. Apparently, it also rained during the night. I love the rain storms here in Cameroon; unfortunately, I missed the entire show. I got sick yesterday morning. In fact, while I was teaching, I told my kids that I had to go lie down. I ended up completely emptying my stomach in the span of about 3 hours. It was not pleasant. I was feeling better by evening, but I was still very weak and dizzy. C ended up giving me an anti-nausea shot that night which knocked me out. All that to say, I couldn’t enjoy the rain at all. I do remember at one point thinking that it might be raining outside, but I didn’t have enough brain power to process that thought. Don’t feel badly for me, though. I’m feeling much better, and I’ve been able to catch up on a lot of sleep. I’ve enjoyed being lazy and having an excuse for it!
It’s hard to believe I’m nearing the 2-month mark until my departure. My time here has absolutely flown this year! It’s interesting that everyone here is in a transition period. The missionaries are looking to transition to a city about an hour away. They’ve been doing a lot of house-hunting lately; in fact, I was able to join the fun last weekend. We’ve seen God at work, and we pray that he would continue to show us his will. Our prayer for all of us of late has been that God would show each of us his perfect plan for us, that he would make the next step abundantly clear. I’m looking into some exciting possibilities for next year. Please pray with me that God would show me where I can best serve him.
