means new experiences!

So this blog is to catch everyone up on my experience's in Africa, and things we did besides getting married. First of all Africa is beautiful, and anyone who has never gotten an opportunity to go please please please go! Its just this incredible place! Besides getting married, I thoroughly got to enjoy Cameroon! We went to two different beaches, went to two schools, went to an orphanage, visited lots of his family, took lots of walks, spent time with his friends, visited our land, and ate lots and lots of food. I didnt get to take pictures at the orphanage for protection of the kiddos there, but here was the welcome song the kids at the school sang to us! They always know how to capture my heart, and respecting visitors is a BIG deal in Cameroon. Whenever you enter a classroom the first thing the children do is say: "Good Morning Madam" and then "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.". So so true!


Also, I got to walk through the jungle this time while I was in Cameroon! That was a major new experience! Humphry and I have some land that is basically in the middle of the jungle. The land is currently being used to grow plantains, coca plants, patatoes, and all kinds of things! My husband assures me that this isnt really the jungle, but I beg to differ. I bet you will too once you see this place! Its no doubt beautiful, but its definitely a jungle!



And finally, of course in Africa there are all kinds of new foods! In some of the pictures I posted on facebook some of you saw the picture of Humphrys 's food, and went what is that? Well let me tell you! That is called Fofo and Eru. We actually made a video before I left about this which is his favorite food (see the picture below).


Needless to say, I did have a blast! I got to go on so many new adventures, and as always in Africa enjoy new experiences! I cant wait to see all the new experiences we will continue to get to have in our marriage! :) Its going to be fun!! :)

Love!
Kayla
