I wasn't able to update on Saturday but due to slow time at the hospital today was able to steal away for a some internet time.
Yesterday morning I received a phone call from my family. Oh, it was wonderful. Today the midwives asked me, "Have you heard from mommy and daddy?" Then I told them how I cried because I was so happy when the phone was for me. They don't really encouraging crying here, but understood, well maybe.
It was also yesterday that the death of the owl was announced. Later that day I was taking the trash to the burn pile and he was face down in rubbish. Wa wa waaaa. I think he was sick.
After our Bi*ble study on Sunday, Hollie, our leader and Connie shared that Connie will not be going to Sudan with us when we leave in March. I hardly have processed this as I share it with you. It is disappointing most of all and I don't really understand it. With time and Go*d's help, I expect to be more at rest with the idea than I am now. I can't imagine a day without one of the girls.
Anyway...bless you friends. I miss you guys. Cameroon is slowly getting colder in the mornings and warmer in the afternoon. Weird.

Bek....Talking to you on Sunday night was the highlight of our week for sure. It was so much fun to listen to all the sisters banter back and forth with the computer in their laps. Pat was NOT happy that he had missed talking with you and thought we should have woke him up!!
I am so sorry that the idea of Connie leaving is bringing such grief to you. You have experience a lot of grief this year in so many different situations. God will be faithful to make sense of this in time, as His ways & timing are always perfect!
Hugs and kisses...counting the days till I talk with you next!
Mom

Miss Bekah, I LOVE to read your blog! I think your mom was going to surprise you with a bird when you get home in June. She might need to rethink that now. Your are on my mind always and I am continuing to pray for you. Thank you for letting us walk through this journey with you.
Love you bunches!
Miss Patti
I too am sorry for your grief at having one of the sisters leave. Praying for your peace and your stamina through each new experience.
