I have been here for just over 2 weeks now. Everything is going great! I love working at Open Doors. This week I got more involved and took a few 1-1 therapy sessions and helped take group therapy. Today was a bit stressful, I was on my own and kind of thrown in at the deep end. Uncle Japeth, who I am working with was off due to a family bereavement, so I may be on my own on Monday too. It is good experience for me but it's only my 2nd week at the school. I think I coped quite well though and got quite a lot done with the kids but it wasn't easy. I am hoping to help lead the kids praise at the devotions in the afternoon with Uncle Japeth who also plays the guitar, and one of the kids who is really good at singing. He has a problem with his speech when he talks but no problems when he sings, which is amazing, so he's the Nigerian Gareth Gates!
Thank you for all the prayers so far, I really do appreciate it. Since writing my previous 
post, I have found a church! For those of you that know Nigeria, I am going to the Bishara 2 (ECWA). I went there the first year I came out to Nigeria. I went last Sunday with my housemates. I had been talking to them about this church but couldn't remember the name. One of the girls in our house had heard about the church and wanted to try it. It turned out to be the church I had been talking about and the service was fantastic. The singing was great and very lively and the sermon was also great and I got a lot out of it. N
ormally in Nigeria the preaching is a bit dodgy or they use about 10 different passages for the one sermon, which don't actually connect in anyway. So, I am very happy that I have found a church to go to and it was only my 2nd Sunday. I truely believe it was God answering prayer and leading me to that church.
Attached are some more pictures of the beautiful kids I am working with.

Hey Lynsey - really glad that God is answering your prayers and obviously using you in Nigeria. We have been praying for you in church and at Fusion leaders meetings. It's prayer and praise in Fusion tonight so we'll be praying for you there too. We miss you a lot and playing teef teef teef is not the same without you. It was worship central at Carnmoney last night so the Soul Survivor crew were doing a wee bit of journeying down memory lane! Hope that you are well and know God's presence with you..
God bless
