Paris

March 2nd, 2008 Posted in Cameroon

It’s been a busy few days, so I’m finally taking some time to update this blog. Friday afternoon it was decided that the roads were clear enough to send the short-term visitors back home. With all the uncertainty about how long the protests will last, it seemed wisest to get out those people who don’t need to be there. So there was a flurry of packing and saying goodbyes and other preparations before departing Saturday morning from the hospital for the 7 hour drive to Douala. Since we left so suddenly, I was not able to say goodbye to everyone that has come to mean so much to me over the last few weeks. It was really hard to leave. We had a very uneventful drive to Douala, and managed to fly out Saturday night on standby after waiting many sweaty hours in the heat and humidity of the Douala airport. It’s all happened so fast, it’s going to be quite an adjustment going home. I encourage anyone reading this to continue to seek news sources on the current status of Cameroon, to be better informed of how you can pray for the people there.

    Glad to hear you’re OK, although it’s unfortunate you weren’t able to stay as long as planned. I’ve been reading your blog posts, it seems like it was a really great experience. Good luck making the return flight over the Atlantic!
