Note from Valerie: The following is a personal e-mail from Joy Nolte to Willie. I asked Willie to allow me to share it with you because it is so wonderful as she talks about what they are doing and experiencing.
It's hard to put into words how awesome this trip has been. Yesterday was espcially meaningful because we dedicated the property at Bakin Kogi. They asked me with Norm to dedicate and pray for the property in your absence. It was an amazing experience that we'll have to talk about when we get home. Today I met the principal at Mt. Carmel and saw the facility. Another fantastic day. We're starting to get on Nigeria time, just in time to return home to Fresno time. Kristin has been getting sick due to lack of sleep, but she's okay. I thought about you yesterday and wondered how the Church Service went. Which by the way, Africans definitely know how to worship and dance! Guess What? Dr. Chris loves to dance!
Love, Mom
