Coming in from the fields

Last post from nigeria

This is my last posting from Nigeria. We are driving to Yola tomorrow so we can get our plane tickets to fly out early on Wednesday morning for Abuja. We will fly out of the country on Wednesday evening and be home some time on Thursday. Pray for our safe travel!

After we were stuck the bridge looked like this

Our last Saturday in Nigeria

Today, I was going to work with the children on the computers. I should know better than to try to plan anything!! We went to another revival. Simon Benjamin decided it would be good to go to the Central Conference with the children and thank them for their support of the orphanage. So we did. We took the scenic route, which is shorter. I think there is only one bridge over this river and we didn’t take it.. We took a ferry instead. These are not like any ferry I have ever been on. I hope when I post this, I can also post some pictures. I am amazed every time I go somewhere in Nigeria. Something always goes wrong, but we always make it to our destination and back. This time the van was acting up. They are going to have it serviced. My guess is the mechanic won’t find anything wrong. I think it is a vapor lock issue. But then I’m a woman and what do I know. We also got stuck going over this makeshift bridge. Four wheel drive went right around through the water and so did the motorcycles. I don’t know if the van would have made it through the water or not. We made it over going, why not coming back? It has aa lot to do with the way the planks were laid out. Anyway, the revival was good. There was a bit of political campaigning, lots of music, preaching, praying, and offerings. It amazes me that politicians can find a place to blow their horn whenever a few or more folks are gathered.
