Internet Connectivity for the Bakweri Language Team

I had the privilege to visit the Bakweri project in Buea lately. They had somes issues with their laptop as well as needed to backup ParaTExt data and do some updates. I got there and to their surprise, I had an Internet modem for the team. I had it setup quickly and educated on how to use it. I also spend time looking at their computer problems and got them all fixed. The team was so excited and really thanked CABTAL and the donors for giving them this most needed gift just at the right time.

I then move on to visit my sister-in-law who is a graduate student at the university. By 5pm, I was at the Moghamo bus station to head back to Yaounde. To my greatest surprise, the bus didn't leave until 6pm. If I had know, I could have used this time to visit another classmate of mine. While in Douala, the traffic on the Bonaberi bridge was so bad and that took us over 2 hours to get across Douala town.

We finally got into Yaounde by 1:30am. I got a taxi to take me to CABTAL. I noticed 3 men in the taxi and I felt very uncomfortable. I began praying that the Lord should really protect me. The driver then told me that they will have to take a back road to leave another person in another neighbourhood before going to my destination. I told him that he could rather leave me. He insisted that it was dangerous to leave me at that point and at that time of the night. I almost accepted to go with them but the Lord lead me to refuse and he dropped me near the cross over by Nsam in Yaounde. I felt very scarred at that point as I had to carry my suitcase trying to head back to the direction of the bus station. The Lord just sent a bike and he took me to my final destination. When I narrated the story to my wife the following morning, she told me that several people are known to have been robbed in that neighbourhood. The Lord must have really been with me then. How I praise you oh my Lord for protecting me from the hands of the evil one.
