The countdown has begun! God has truly blessed in opening the way for our move to Cameroon. We have our tickets, passports, visas, immunizations, international driver’s licenses, medicines, and most of the other things we want to take. We leave Sunday, August 16.

God’s timing is incredible. One very recent evidence of this was last Sabbath. We decided to attend our old church in Meadow Vista since we were in the Sacramento area. What a surprise we had when we saw that Keith and Tammy Mosier were presenting the program that day! Keith and his parents and family have been working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the past two years. They have made wonderful progress in building a training facility for pastors/ bible workers/ church planters, and they have already had at least one training program for these church planters. We were very blessed. Keith gave us some invaluable advice regarding malaria treatment and other missionary info. Keith and Tammy will return to DRC this September. They are friends of Gary and Wendy Roberts, the mission pilot & his wife whom Steve visited in Chad this last winter.

We are busy packing things for storage here and for transporting to Cameroon. About three to four weeks ago we mailed 18 boxes of school supplies to Cameroon. They should be arriving over there soon.

It is still the rainy season over in Cameroon. We checked the current weather, and there has been almost solid cloud cover for several days. I wonder how our solar panel will do… We also found Lassin on Google Earth. It was quite exciting to actually see where this place is!!

Well, back to packing. Please pray even now as we finalize details and finish packing.

God is good!
