In Bamenda!

Dear friends and family,

I'm in Bamenda already! I'm in an Internet place as it is week end in the SIL office, and there's no one to connect me to Internet. Que hi farem! We arrived safely. We spent a great time in the village. We actually arrived yesterday afternoon. There were people in the old school building that were watching a movie about the Lord Jesus in their own language for the first time, so it was good to hear their impressions. Then it got dark pretty quickly, so there was no time to do anything else but play a couple games of chess and Set, which a Cameroonian called Guy (French name) loved and picked up really quick! So we had a good time.

This morning I went for a few walks around the village. I found some children beside a house playing ball with a rolled up sock. So I played a bit with them and made them laugh, and then they started doing what I hoped: They started teaching me words in their local language! SO I took about my pen and started writing the IPA. Their older 18 year old brother was there to help me out with the pronounciation a bit. I also recorded some voices, and great was their surprise when they could hear themselves shouting the words! I also took some pictures which they loved seeing. I will upload them as soon as i have some connection. They gave me an avocado, and I gave them a big coconut, bigger than their wide eyes. :)

Well, now I have to run as Michael, Guy and I have been invited for pancakes at a Swedish couple's place! Thank you for your prayers, and Lord bless.

In Christ,

Ricard
