Hello friends,
Classes have now started at the Catholic University of
Cameroon, Bamenda (CATUC) and I am truly enjoying meeting so many of the
students! Despite the difference in culture and multiple decades since I
completed my undergraduate degree, many of the challenges are basically the
same. Seeing the bright and hopeful faces of these students brings a huge
smile to my face and I feel myself wanting to serve them in whatever way God is
calling me to. Just the other day we had our Matriculation Mass and since
our office had been involved in preparing several of the students for the
readings and petitions, I felt so proud of them as they accomplished their
parts. I kind of felt like a beaming mother hen with her chicks,
heehee.
I must also share how inspired I am to see so many
students consistently come to daily Mass during their lunch hour. I
am not so sure that when I was a college student I would have sacrificed my
lunch hour to go to Mass. I have a feeling I would have been led by my
hungry stomach!
Peace and prayers to all, and a request to keep the
CATUC students in your prayers as this academic year begins!
