September 2011

Nandry got her ears pierced.  We had gone to the hospital in Bamenda to see if they would do it there, since many baby girls have their ears pierced after they are born.  But, the hospital method was a little too traumatic for us (“hold still while I push this by hand through your earlobe…it will hurt, but be brave”), uhhh, no thank you!  We were able to find a pharmacy in Bertoua that had an ear piercing gun.  Still painful as you can see on Nan’s expression, but it was worth it!

 
Buttercup had six puppies in August that reached the age where they were making a mess all over our veranda and yard (and garden!!!) and were ready to bless some other people with their presence.  They are a German Shepherd and Beauce Shepherd mix.  Found homes for 4 of them pretty quickly. 

Spent a couple of days with the Schilinski clan!  We got to ride horses in the beautiful hills of Bamenda, visit Prespot and try our hand at the pottery wheel, and just a have  a great time with their family.  This picture is from the trip home from our picnic that got rained out.  Good times! 


Africa Area Conference in Bamenda.  A week of catching the vision for the future of our field and spending time with our WT colleagues. 

The kids had their own Bible Boot Camp during the conference.  They practiced putting on the armor of God.
