Hello! Things are going great here. We hope all is well with you. The Bishop for Nigeria came with his wife for our general conferences. They are in Akwa Ibom now with Phyllis and our cook, Bassey. (Jenny and Sue can cook, so don’t worry, we are having more than just spaghetti!) It has been really great to be able to get to know them a little bit. They are very nice people. It is amazing the things that God is doing in this place! We are surrounded by people that love us so much! Last week, Bature, the Fulani man who helped Phyllis establish the school here, took us up to his camp. They dressed me up like a Fulani woman! It was a lot of fun. Here is me and Jamison in our Fulani garb and Bature, who is helping me balance the bowls. Work has been going along very well. Jamison has gotten much of the electrical updated, it works very well now. He even ran power down to the new bathhouse for the boarding area. The huts are nearly finished, all we need to do now is make beds and it will be ready for children to move in. We are hoping to be able to get the roof on before we go back to the States. The mural is coming along well. There isn’t much of a paint selection here, so I have to mix a lot of the colors to get them right. I haven’t mixed paint before, so it is an adventure! I have repainted the sheep several times to try and get them to look right. It will all look great when it is finished. Here is a picture of me painting the shepherd. We are getting ready to come back to the States. We will greatly miss the people here! We have fallen in love so much with all of the children and the members of the church. They have become a second family to us. But we are also excited to be able to come home and see all of you again! We love you and miss you and we hope and pray that you are well!
