Back in Brookings

Hello everyone,

We are back in Brookings now, planning for A Night in Cameroon. Thank you for all of your prayers, God moved in powerful ways this trip.

Today

Today we met with another chief in Yaounde to get his blessing, but after that part of the trip we fell pray to a part of Cameroonian life most people don't experience. The president of Cameroon will shut down highways and city streets if he happens to be traveling. We've heard about this, but hadn't seen it in action until today. Without warning the police shut down our route back to where we were staying. This caused major traffic jams and we had to travel all the way around the city to get back. The sun will set in a little bit so we will call it a day. But it's interesting just how much we take for granted in the US.

Update

Hello everyone,

The sun was out for a while, then the rain clouds came in. The cupcakes turned out ok, but the cake was still too soft. If the sun comes out today I'll try to stick it back in the oven to finish it. It's looking like we will only have one good day with the solar oven for the two weeks we are out here. Mirielle was very impressed with the results both times and so was Guy. She is still excited about showing the oven to her friends. I believe that she understands the need for a good day of sun and that summer time will be here soon. If we had not of had the one good test run I don't think she would be trying to work with it. So, I'm glad I tried as much as I did.
