Hello our wonderful friends and family! We hope all is well with you. We are doing well here. We are now in the southern state of Akwa Ibom in a town called Eket. This is where the Sortors started their work in Nigeria. Here they live in town, so close we can walk to check our e-mail. Their house here is very nice; I can understand why they were excited to be coming back here for a time. Our project here is painting the school. There are two Nigerian men that are helping us, but it is going to take some time to get it all done. The school is quite large, four classroom blocks, an administration building, an assembly hall and a dormitory. This is Jamison and Phyllis checking out the unpainted assembly hall. While we are working on that, Jim and Phyllis are overseeing the building of a second dormitory. The school is going to be a rust brown color with cream trim and bright blue shutters and doors. It is going to look very nice when we get it all done. We are greatly enjoying our time here. The people are very friendly and easy to get along with. The second picture is Jamison playing hopscotch with some of the school children. They are so beautiful! Kristie hasn’t been feeling well, so pray that she remains healthy. Also, pray for her family. We recently found out that her father has non-life threatening cancer. It is scary news at any time, but especially to hear when you are on another continent. We miss you all more than you know, and love you dearly. Thank you for your prayers and support!

Kristy and Jamison, we will continue to pray for your health and safety as you serve in Nigeria. It looks like you have a great deal of work to keep you busy. We are praying for healing for Rick and that you (Kristy) are feeling better.
Love,
Rita Millsaps
