Day 1 in Nigeria (Monday in Mangu)

We all made it safely to Nigeria. Our rescheduled flights were very smooth. We spent Sunday night in Abuja and this morning drove to Jos. The drive was beautiful. We went directly to a village outside of Jos called Mangu. We met the borehole team there and watched them work on drilling a well. We played soccer and other games with the kids. Matt painted fingernails of many small children. The village kids successfully wore Ernie out playing soccer. Dan & Cathy got to assist the drillers by cleaning mud out of the out of the mud pit and installing pieces of drill pipe to the drill string. Rhonda taught the girls a New Zealand stick game. Tony & Dan played soccer while dodging goats & motorcycles in the playing field. Jeanette got mobbed by kids who wanted Spierman coloring sheets. Dana & Jeanette learned Hausa from the kids. Everyone on the team enjoyed meeting the drill team and Daniel.
