Day 15
Bert & Wilma Visser’s Guestroom, Yaounde, Cameroon

Today is the start of week three. The length of the time away from home, and the rest of my family, is becoming harder. That is especially so, now that we are staying with family, Bert and Wilma.
Most of yesterday, and most of today, will be spent on the Everything that Hinders seminar. We had a good start last night, with about 40 attending, mostly SIL staff. We will resume today at 8:30 am, and wrap it up by 5:00 pm. I hope the material will be helpful and allow them to raise the bar in their personal, family and professional lives.
Mary Jean and Andrew has been busy planning for our outing to Mt. Cameroon. It takes two days to climb the mountain, the third highest in Africa. So they need to plan for food and so on. There are “huts” for overnight accommodation. I have decided to let wisdom prevail as to whether I should attempt the climb to the summit.
