Nigeria

Day One, "Of Travel and Tragedy"
We made it, after a day and a half of flying we landed in Nigeria. We made it through the pasport checks with few questions. We easily found sixteen of our bags and after a quick search we found the other two. When we got to customs the poor guy doing baggage checks was so overwhelmed by the amount of bags that we had and the line building up behind us that he checked one bag briefly and sent us on our way. When we got through customs Josh, Prince, Okay, and Beth were waiting to pick up. The ride to our "hide out", as prince called it was like a live version of the cruising usa video game. If they had had sidewalks here in Jeqway we would have been driving on them. The house is awesome. It has tile floors, two bathrooms with toilets, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. We spent all day Wednesday recovering from the jet lag and then went to the mid week service at the church. While we were there Prince anounced that Terisa, the worship leader at the Cakvary in One Man Village, had died the weekend before. She was the worship leader here in Abuja when the team was here last year and lead worship for the Galatians conference that the team did. The church here in Jeqway took it really hard and it is going to devestate the church in One Man Village when Pastor Godfrey tells them tommorow. Please remember her family and the believers here in your prayers. The wildest part was that we were attacked by thousands of bugs during church that night. They were these huge winged things that we found out later from an elderly Nigerian are "edible and very good for you".
