2012 Nigeria summer trip is almost here!!
Well, in less than 2 days at this time the C4 team will have already taken our first flight and will be wondering around the airport in New York, passing the time until our next flight headed for Abuja, Nigeria.
We are a small but mighty team of 6! One awesome teen, one brave man, and 4 crazy woman. We finished up our final team meeting on Monday and now everyone is scurrying around tying up loose ends. I think we will all just be happy to get on the plane resting in the truth that God is in control. Not only of our little team but also when it comes to our families and responsibilities at home.
Different members of our team will take turns while in Nigeria updating you on our activities. PLEASE feel free to reply or make comments!! All of our team members are on there first trip of this magnitude and I know that hearing words of encouragement or love from friends and family from home is food for the soul.
Well this team leader better go finish packing,

what a DAY......
Well,for all of you who are saying my blogs are to short, that is because they are from text messages I have been sending to kristin everytime I am in an area with service. Tonight everyone is pooped so I won the opportunity to blog. :-)
Soooooo.....Yes the cow is DEAD, much to lauras dismay. Laura quote..."poor cow" x 100. Should be interesting to see her eating it tomorrow night. The trip picking up the cow was quite interesting. Lots of giggles and a few nervous moments. Our cow was a fiesty one, so much movement, a bit of thrashing, and vocalization. We all had our plan of how we would escape the car if he broke loose and we agreed on "every man for himself". We were in a small station wagon with a huge cow, one driver, one three week old baby boy and 5 enefu (white peeps).
Dr. Kyla spent her day walking miles. She was taking care of people with albinism and was so sweet. She would walk soooo far to see them , then walk all the way back to get just the right size hat, then back again becaasue they asked to take a photo and she had to retrieve her camera. She just laughs through it all, never complains. The girls have all been bonding so well and we are all starting to feel sad thinking of leaving. Mom's of teen girls you are doing a terrrific job and you should be proud.
Our mighty men, who by the way were to wimpy, oh I mean tired, to write ;-) are doing great. They are working very hard at the school doing the playground. Tools are minimal, wood super hard and much rain. Even with all the hurdles they have maintain a super outlook and just keep plugging along. They have a bout 10 young boy groupies who look up to them like rock stars. RENEE, Leanard was a poo head becuz he made me sit under a light at dinner and bugs were dropping on my food and in my hair. I would suggest a stern talking to sister when he returns!!!!!
Tomorrow is a very busy day. Men to report to school at 6:30, girls to Mama gross's for breakfast, then back to MoM to take top students to the river, cow eating send off for dinner, etc etc.
Much love to our families ans friends for your love and support. We have felt surrounded by your love and prayers!!!! Please pray for journey mercies for all of our travel on Sunday. Please pray for the beautiful children and staff of MoM!!!!!! agba....nafedowe julie
