Happy Friday, everyone! Several marvelous things have happened this week, and it's not even the weekend yet. :) First of all, yesterday, we got our horses back! They have been staying up in Sabba Njowra, healing from a few different things - boils, cuts, etc. - before making the long trip down to Bamenda. The ride usually takes about 4 hours, I think. I made it last year, but this time two Fulani boys brought them down to us and met us at the Cattle Market. Papa Karissa drove Katelyn and I up there, despite the pouring rain, and once the skies cleared up, we mounted Prince and Macchiato and took them home! Most Cameroonians view horses as scary, dangerous, big dogs, and so does Sasha (one of our real dogs). She has been running around the compound barking her head off, trying to figure out what these strange creatures are and what they are doing at her house. Haha. I, for one, am quite happy about the whole thing.
Onto marvelous item number 2... Chris told us a week or two ago that Slater, one of the men who had come awhile back with Steve Santos to look over the water projects and other stuff in Ndop, wanted to donate to both Sarah and me! And this week we found out he gave $500 to each of us! Hallelujah, God's already answering prayers about Sarah's finances and and more! It's always so very encouraging to have someone you barely know give so much - just so we can be here to help Chris and Karen and have this life-changing experience!
Tonight we are foregoing our Pizza and Movie Night in favor of a missionary Bible study. It seems all the missionaries in Bamenda go there, so we will be meeting plenty of white people tonight. Then comes the weekend, which holds the promise of lots of horseback riding, perhaps hiking, and food and sleep galore!
