Sorry about the delay in updating everyone. I have
time for a brief update of the last couple weeks. We
finished out a great time in Bayanga having done 5
seminars in 5 villages and having had time to do a lot
of good one on one work with some great Aka men with a
lot of initiative for tree planting, farming and even
making fish ponds. Our truck was back on the road in
time for our last week in Bayanga to do a bunch of
travelling to some villages a little further out.
Darren also had another opportunity to spend an
afternoon viewing elephants and forest antelope up the
road from the mission. Since we are residents it was
free of charge. We felt like we really did some good
work and had accomplished a lot in our month there.
having a working knowledge of Sango sure makes all the
difference.
As many of you know, my family and friends got
together and paid for me to be able to fly back to
Canada for my sister's wedding which is this Saturday.
I am so lucky to have such great friends and a
wonderful husband who arranged it all behind my back.
While I am here fulfilling the duties of the bride's
sister, Darren is back in Bayanga with BJ doing 2 more
weeks of ministry with the Aka before heading back up
to return to work in Gamboula. The difference between
Gamboula and Bayanga is shocking in terms of poverty
levels, and the general surroundings, but the
difference between Bayanga and Victoria is even
greater!
As a matter of prayer, please remember me this Friday
as I have been invited to speak on a local radio show
about our work in CAR and the country in general.
Thanks Mom!
Will write more when the wedding craziness is over.
