The last couple of days have been pretty full of tons of information. It has been a wonderful time meeting Audrey (I love her already!) and doing training under a couple different missionaries here. In addition to the formal training, it was really just a blessing to be able to hear their stories and what they've encountered over the years and to also hear stories of God's incredible provisions. So very encouraging. If you know a missionary, you should really just sit down and ask them about God's working in their lives, you'll never know those stories if you don't ask! For that matter - just ask another Christian friend. I'm sure we all have stories we would love to tell!
This evening was Ben's birthday so he came up to Toronto (and is staying at a friend's place so he can see me off tomorrow) and we had dinner and just spent a lot of time talking - What a lovely time it was to just sit and talk with a really special friend and enjoy yummy familier food the last time in the next four months. What a blessing and encouragement it was.
I'm a LITTLE BIT NERVOUS about the whole thing, kind of APPREHENSIVE of how I'll deal with the CULTURE SHOCK, but I truly know and believe that God is good. PRAY FOR ME in this as Audrey and I TRANSITION into this new culture and meet many new people in the next couple of days. Also, we have 2 different connecting FLIGHTS tomorrow, so prayer for lack of complications would be great!
We fly at 1350 out of Toronto and arrive in Yaounde at 2035 their time (1435 Toronto time). Keep us in your prayers! Thank you so much!
