Life continues on here at a nice relaxed pace. I finished my last session of Lay Counseling
Training for this year. Next month they
will have some testing to complete their 7 month training and a have a party.
Then they are able to do counseling with HIV and other individuals in their
Parishes.
I so love my work at the Treasure Center working with
developmentally and physically challenged children. Tomorrow I do a staff training on Clinician Self
Care, but what I really enjoy is just lovin’ on the kids. I love how their
faces light up when they sing and how they take such pride in their work. I am buying up lots of their beautiful
jewelry to bring back to the US. Last week we pulled out the instruments and made music that
only God would enjoy listening too, but we laughed and had such fun. I am
learning some Cameroonian praise songs, but the kids really love the ones from
the US especially one with motions.
I think I mentioned that we made it out to see the Hakes
(Mission Dr’s) in Njinikom. It is truly
God’s country out there. While touring the hospital with Dr. Jim and Terry, the
girls and I got to hold triplets!!!!! The hospital is amazingly well equipment
and continues to grow and improve. The grounds are so lovely and the views are
incredible. The Hakes are a great couple who have served well for three years
with loving hearts and positive attitudes.
