Winding it up

Sorry for the lack blogs but its not the easiest thing to pull off.
It's Friday and the week is quickly winding up.  Today one group will take the children of CLAF to the zoo, while another finishes up some work at the brides shop.

Tomorrow will be the longest day of the adventure.  The plan is to get up and debrief,clean up the house , pack our bags and head out around 1:00 to Abuja, Make it to the airport and get thru,then the long plane rides.  If I figure right in a short 32 hours from when we get up we will be back in Cincinnati.  Can't wait to see you.

Everyone is doing well and the luggage arrived on Wednesday.

A quick run down
Wednesday , we went to see a piece of property that the ministry  owns and got a vision of what the future might hold.  Thursday we placed the concrete in what will become a computer lab or IT center. We mixed 6 cubic yards( for those unfamiliar ,thats 3\4 of a load on a big cement truck) That's alot !!!  It went very well dispite the fact it rained most of the day , but the slab was inside.  

This will be the last blog, we'll call you when we hit the US soil , can't wait

We are here...and we're safe!

Hello family and friends back in the US... i just wanted to let you all know that we made it here safe and sound. We had NO problems getting here. we made all our flights (even though we had to run to one) and getting through customs couldn't have been easier...let's just say that we were being led by an angel! 

We stayed in Abuja for the night and in the morning we made a 3 hour drive to Jos. This was amazing and i am sure that everyone will have wonderful pictures to show. 

Everyone is safe and no one has gotten sick so far...let's cross our fingers and continuing praying for health! We got to visit a local orphanage and play with the kids and do some good old work projects. Everyone did great. And we did get to see the drill rig that the Luke 4 challenge has purchased! It was cool to see where the actual money has gone and the determination and passion these men have who are helping drill the wells. 

3 bags were lost...but no worries because hopefully they will be here tomorrow! Everyone is loving it and having an experience of a lifetime, and each person is using their strengths to help the group and the kids. 

Thanks so much for your prayers... please continue praying that God would just show us what we need to learn this week. We love you all very much and we miss you. 

Bob wanted to say that he misses Kamri and all the kids very much and they he loves them. ( i told him that i would post his little message!)

We love you all!
