Pictures

I went to a wedding on Saturday. My student's older sister got married. She looked beautiful and I had a good time. It was a my first wedding experience in Nigeria. The first picture is of (l to r) me, Stephanie, and Susan. Susan is my neighbor; she's a good kid. Stephanie and Susan both work at a HIV/AIDS counseling center. They do some great work here in Jos and for the Kingdom.

(Yes, I know my head tie doesn't match my outfit that doesn't matter here.)




Here is a picture of Luke and I. He has his eyes open so I thought it was a good picture. He is wearing a traditional Nigerian outfit for his sister's wedding. Because he was good during the ceremony, I gave him a car. Not a real car, a toy car, and he was happy.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

A Good Idea

A friend recently said to me: "Oh, I wish my blog had more post like your's. It has so much about daily life and mine is very spiritual." So I thought, 'okay, now I have an idea. I will post some big indepth revelation that I have learned from God.' It is a good idea, I just haven't thought of anything that has been a big spiritual thing this week.

So my daily life: I'm taking an arobics class three days a week. My abs hurt.

That's it.

A new watch

I bought a new watch today because the battery on my other died. It difficult to find batteries here and someone that will do a good job. So I went to a guy on the street and bought a Cugge watch. No, I've never heard of that brand either. It only cost N300 or $2.30. We will see if this battery lasts 6-8 months like the guy promised.

What else.... It's November, that's exciting. School is going well. Every first friday of each month, we, the SIMers here, meet for a big potluck dinner and worship/prayer time. It is a great time and we usually average about 40-50 without the kids.

I made Snickerdoodle cookies and a Chocolate Chess pie and the pie was gone by the time I got through the line. I'm taking that as a good sign. This is a big thing that I know how to make pie. If you know my family you know my grandma, aunts, cousins, uncle, mom, and brother are awesome pie makers. However, all of us are excellent pie eaters. It's a small shame that I carry that I can't make a pie but not anymore!

Have a nice weekend.
