I mentioned in my last post I have been thinking about what God might be calling my to in the future. So I have been thinking a lot lately about whether or not God has called me to Career missions and well I'm not really sure, I'm hoping that this upcoming trip to Cameroon will really help with find direction. But one thing I know for sure is that whether or not I am called to full time missions overseas I feel strongly called to work with children or youth ministries. So this led me to a decision to switch the children and family ministry program. But there is a still a possibility of overseas missions and even if I am in Canada there are so many cultures in Canada that the intercultural studies would still be very valuable. So this all led me to where I am now which is a tongue twister of a program.

T-Minus 14 days till take off
These are the pictures of the book I made for the story of the Prodigal Son. (Luke 15:11-32)
I am really excited to be leaving soon. But I'm also starting to get nervous as well. I keep being afraid that I'm going to forget something so I have a very detailed packing list. I also have a big long to-do list of things I need to do before I go home. But in all of this I need to make sure I am still spending time with God and preparing spiritually for this trip.
I'm going to post soon about what God has been doing in my life lately in terms of a possible future in children's ministry

Trip Updates
We are leaving exactly three weeks today for Cameroon! I am so excited.
Our original flights were canceled but God really answered our prayers and we go on new a new flight that leaves at the exact same time.
We leave Toronto on May 9th at 6:10 pm we arrive in Brussels in the early morning of the 10th. From Brussels we fly to Zurich and from Zurich to Yaounde (the capital of Cameroon). We should be arriving in Yaounde at 7:35 pm on May 10th, which is only 3 hours later than our original flight.
For our exam we had to make a big book (each page is 2ft by 1.5ft) of Bible stories. The story I did was the Prodigal Son. I was really glad I got to do that story because it has had a really big impact in my life. I took so pictures of it but my SD card reader on my computer isn't working but I will try to upload them soon.
Prayer Points:
-Group dynamics
-Health
-Host Families
-Oku people
-Culture shock
And also, God has really helped me in regaining my health from when I was sick. I am feeling just as well as before I got sick and I regained all the weight I lost.
Praise the Lord

It's the final countdown
So today being April 9th is exactly one month from when we leave. It is kind of crazy that it is coming up so soon, but I still have so much stuff left to do. Me and some of the other girls have started doing insanity (which is a really intense workout) every night to get ready to climb Mt. Cameroon. It still probably will be the hardest thing that I have ever done so prayer would be very appreciated.
It has just been really amazing to see God bring all the pieces together. I have just over half the amount of money I need and I know that God will bring in the rest that in need. God has also just been really working in my heart preparing me for this time trip.
For the next month I will post about how preparations are going and also prayer requests.
Prayer requests
I was really sick this past week and I a lot of weight but I really need to gain weight so that if I lose weight in Cameroon it won't be unhealthy for me. So if you could just pray for my overall health and that I could gain the weight that I need to in order to be healthy the entire time I am in Cameroon.
