Our Week at COD

It's already been 3 weeks since we were in Pennsylvania at COD's Mission Festival. It was a really great time getting to know the church a little bit and meeting so many of their congregation there in York, PA as well as spending time with some seasoned missionaries from around the globe. This weekend, Nathan is driving back up to COD to speak on Sunday night. We've been "in process" with them since before Christmas and we are hoping that they will decide to take us on for support. It would help us out tremendously towards our goal of getting back to Cameroon by July 4th.

One of the activities during the week was a trip to Gettysburg. It was fun for the kids to sit on the cannons and they learned about the Civil War. The kids even enjoyed the museum and cyclorama and riding on the church bus.


While in PA, we stayed at the Crane's house at Lake Meade. As soon as we got there, Boaz was eyeing the fishing pole. He caught 2 fish during the week, both bass, I think. The weather was kind of cold, but that didn't stop the kids from enjoying the water. They swam the first 2 evenings we were there (it wasn't as cold) and used the water toys during the other days. I didn't get a picture, but we even spent an afternoon with Darla, our previous tutor in Cameroon. We all have a very special bond with her since being in Cameroon together. The kids were thrilled to hang out with Darla, roast marshmallows and make s'mores.
