Fun times in America

 

Spending a week with my family and friends in St. Louis was just absolutely wonderful! It was a good time of encouragement for me to see everyone and know that so many people are praying for me and my ministry here. I was able to do many things in the short time I was home that I cannot do while in Nigeria such as ice skating, going to the movie theater, eating wonderful food, etc.  I was also so blessed to have some of my aunts from out of town come in and see me!  When I spoke at my church the first 2 or 3 rows were filled with my family members!  Here are a few pics of my time home.

I have been back in Nigeria for more than a week now and little time to get ready for the next madness.  I arrived to Jos on Friday and picked up my team from the airport on Saturday, took them to the bush on Sunday, had meetings all day Monday and then again on Wednesday.  My team returned from a great trip to the K people on Wednesday and Clint and I did their debriefing, then Thursday I took them shopping and then out to the airport so they could head back home.  Friday morning we got news that the daughter of our secretary at the office had died.  She was only 10 years old, but had been very sick for a few months now.  It is very sad but we are praising God that this little girl is no longer in pain and is now with her Heavenly Father!  So Friday afternoon we headed out to the house of our secretary and spent time with the family.  Please remember the family as they go through this time of grieving over their loss.
