Day 12 (Second Sunday)

Today the team split as Chad and Whitney went with Okay to one man village while the rest of us taught Sunday school classes. This week Amanda taught the older kids from the book of Esther while Katherine taught the younger kids about knowing Christ personally. All three lessons went well with no incidents (Godswill was a little quieter today) and we met as a group after Church to enjoy minerals together. The minerals were provided by a couple who were celebrating their first anniversary by bringing minerals and doughnuts, and singing a special number. That seems to be the way the celebrate any occasion, let the person get up and sing a special number. I think we have heard like three special numbers for the anniversary and for birthdays. After that we went to the Green Apple for lunch as a team. Here we had jollof rice, and geri and soup (Scott). The rice was wonderful; it was like beef fried rice with a whole lot of spice to it. When we were done with lunch we went to the basketball court for one more day of hoops before we had to go. Chad’s team did good as usual, My team did ok, and Katherine didn’t play this time because she was wearing sandals. When it was time for us to go most of the people there asked us to come back next year and play again (most of them knew Chad from last year’s team). When we came home that night I picked my hair into a fro just to prove it could be done, and we sat an discussed college football for an hour. More later from Abuja.
