e-Missions Update - Valerie in Nigeria

This morning when the sun rose - it rose on me in Nigeria! We arrived in Abuja at about 5:00 am - then went to a breakfast meeting at 7:00 am with the president of the Board for the Faith Alive Foundation - USA. After the meeting we drove into Jos.

What I described to you as how Biana described driving in Nigeria did not even scratch the surface of how they drive! I had to close my eyes for most of the drive because I didi not want to further complicate matters by having a massive heart attack!

We cleaned up, ate lunch, took a bit of a nap and are now headed to the clinic. I have made friends with a bunch of kids across the street - something to do with my hair.

It is 8:45 am there - it is 4:45 pm here.

Keep us in prayer - with all the time change and traveling my diabetes is acting up a wee bit. But I am excited to be here - excited to be part of something great!

I miss you all - and will see you in six weeks

Until the Shout!
