Waiting for lunch or snack with colleagues at the Espresso House Bastos between the morning wedding ceremony and the late afternoon reception. We are all wearing outfits made from the wedding cloth Charles and Gabrielle chose. This is a common way of showing solidarity with the couple.

Mini-Equip
10 Reunion. I went through the Wycliffe 6-week online/2-week Orlando
onsite Equip 10 training with
Gabrielle and the Chris & Lori Gassler family in Spring 2011.
Whenever two or more Equip 10
participants get together, we call it a mini-reunion and take a photo to
share with others. What a joyful mini-reunion this was! I also went
through the 5-week Cameroon Branch Orientation (CAMBO) training with Gabrielle .

I have not yet gotten the
hang of tying headwear – a common part of Cameroonian culture and expected in
many churches. A yellow and print headpiece was sewn for me, I had no idea what
to do wth it, but have observed that Cameroonian ladies seem to enjoy
teaching us expats the local ways. Seeing some familiar faces from Odza
Baptist Church where I’ve visited several times, I walked up and asked for
help. The lady who quickly and gladly obliged (orange hat) is the mother of my friend and Hope Social Action president, Nzeuga Hugue (not pictured here).

Thank you Mrs. Nzeuga for doing my headpiece! I received a number of compliments on my headwear AND several friends asked me who did it...they knew I had NOT tied my fabric into the nicely intertwined layers...LOL! I DO want to learn this skill myself. (Thanks Lori Gassler for pic.)
