I'm here!

After more than two days of travel, we finally arrived at Mbingo Baptist Hospital yesterday late afternoon. The travel was intense; two 7+ hour flights and one 7+ hour van ride. Arriving at the hospital was a relief for sure!
The Schlaudeckers, Hannah Fischer, and I are all staying in a nice house together. We have 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen, and a living area. The weather here is so lovely! Awesome temperatures in the 70’s and cool breezes are just perfect. It’s doesn’t make me miss the awful Cincinnati weather one bit! J
The culture shock of coming to Cameroon from the USA has been quite a slap in the face. I didn’t prepare myself the way I should have for how different things would be. I’m humbled by how much we have and how much we take for granted. It’s the little things like clean floors, clean water, and bathrooms that you never think about until you don’t have them.
I’m thanking God for watching over our group and keeping us all safe. He’s providing for us and showing us his will.
I will try and post as often as the internet connection allows.

  1. WOW! God is awesome! I am so impressed by that 7+ bus ride. I would have never survived :) I am so glad you got there safely and hope you will continue to be blessed by our Lord. I am praying for you and those 2 cute little kids. Good luck ;)
