Hello from San Francisco! :)
I am sitting here in the airport, already tired, and anticipating three more flights and 16 hours of travel before Timothy and I reach our final destination--Roatan Island, Honduras.
Six years ago when I graduated from high school I got a letter from some ladies from my church. In the letter they told me that they knew I had a special relationship with my little brother, Timothy, and wanted me to be able to take him on a special holiday before I eventually went out to the mission field. These dear ladies had anonymously put money for this purpose into my bank account. I have never been able to thank them since they did not tell me who they were, and so have only the Lord to thank for this wonderful gift. :) What a beautiful picture of "giving hilariously" this was to me! I pray that the Lord will bless these ladies in very special ways for the great encouragement they have been to me.
We will be spending time with the small local church helping out with their children's ministry, and have then been invited to share with them about the work I feel God calling me to in Cameroon. There is also a Christian organization working with orphans there that has asked us to spend some time with them.
We are also looking forward to spending time together reading, playing board games, and taking some scuba diving lessons.
Well, my internet time is almost done so I should sign off for now. I would appreciate your prayers for our time away, that the Lord would keep us safe, give us good connections with them people we meet, and that He would use this time to reveal Himself to Timothy in a very real way.
We will be gone until the 22nd of October. When we get back I will update you on the trip and the events of this past summer.
May the Lord bless and keep you.
...And have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Your sister in Christ,
Angeline Bowman
