Well my Visa finally arrived last week and after a very bumpy flight I arrived in Nigeria yesterday (30th) at around 4:30am. We then travelled by bus to Jos, the City I will be working in.
This week is a public holiday and today was Independance day, so I am not doing a lot yet but I begin work at Open Doors Special Needs School on Monday, so I am really looking forward to that. In the meantime, I am just getting to know the girls I am living with. There are 6 girls in our house altogether - 3 from Canada, 1 from England and another girl from Northern Ireland! They are all really nice and so far we are all getting along well.
A lot of people have been asking about the food here, well so far I am being looked after really well. Last night we went to a Restaurant down the road from our compound. We were able to have Pizza and chips, which was actually quite nice and tonight I was out for dinner at a Missionaries house. I can assure you it will not always be like this! Last night was really to welcome me here.
Tomorrow I will be going to a meeting for the Ministry I am working with out here and on Saturday I am going to visit the Care Centre I worked in last summer. I am looking forward to seeing all the boys again.
It is definately great to be back in this amazing country! Thanks for all the prayers about my Visa and thanks for checking out my blog. I will write again soon.
Yours in Christ,
Lynsey
