Sorry this is so long! I’ll try to write
less next time.
Day 1 (or has it been two days? I don’t
really know)
Day 2
I fell asleep yesterday. I’m still pretty
tired, but if I can sleep through the night tonight I should be fine in the
morning.
Last night… they could not find the key to
my room at the center, so I stayed at the general director’s house. That wasn’t
bad at all. He has a Canadian wife and three adorable little kids who love
guests. For anyone who knows the Knights – I promise you, they are the African
equivalents of the Knight children. They read, the youngest is fairly quiet and
when he wants something he looks at you with these big doe eyes, and the order
is even the same – boy, girl, boy. It’s
pretty crazy. I hope I get to see them again before I leave.
Today we were up at 6 am, left at 6:30 and
traveled until about one. I am now in Bamenda where CABTAL is having a
get-together with people from all parts of CABTAL. Tomorrow they are having a
ground-breaking ceremony for a new center (I think it’s a school) they are
building here. I’m to attend that and then we’re going to see if the rest of
the week we can do my training on the fly or, since I was supposed to be in
Bamenda this week anyway, if I had come last Friday, they’re going to see if
maybe I can go work with the translators anyway. Who knows what’s going to
happen? I’ll get back to you on that.
I haven’t been able to connect to the
internet yet (obviously, or you’d have read this June 17th), but
that’s okay. I have my phone set up and I called my parents. Hopefully they let
everyone know I’m alive and well. If not… Well, I am. I hope you know by now.
It’s 9 pm. I slept practically as soon as
we got here at 1 until 6:40, then went to dinner. Then we had a prayer meeting
and now it is bed time. Yay, bed time! I’ll write more tomorrow night and
hopefully I’ll have more to say about what’s happening with me. Right now I’m
going with the flow because they are trying to remake plans for me. We’ll see.
