Arriving in Ogugu

Hey Everyone!

I am currently in Ankpa where the internet is just as a slow, and just as frustrating as it is in Abuja! This is, however, the only frustrating part of the couple of weeks in Nigeria so far!

Due to my seeminly useless memory stick drive (which is saved this weeks blog onto) i cannot give you a detailed account of what has happened over the past few days, however i can give you a summary of the highlights.

The most important piece of news is that yesterday i started my football coaching course with the orphans. It was a crazy session but it was nice for the kids to be playing with adults, something they rarely get to do!

Myself, Ryan and Irish Chris are also taking over this Sundays service, i am preaching on grace, so prayer for that is much needed, as well as prayer for all the children i will be working with over the next 6 months.

It is still wellll hot, and this hasn't helped us in our quest to build a fence round the centre. Work is slow, and painful (getting engine oil in my eye is not fun!), but it is slowly being completed.

All work and no play makes Chris a dull boy! or so they say. With this is mind, i have been relaxing by reading a lot and catching Arsenal at the local cinema! I have also taken various stresses out by killing the chicken that the minister gave to us as a gift. Yummy it was too!!

I do apologise for the lack of pictures on here, or on facebook, but the internet is so slow. I will persevere and get some on here or email them!! They are worth the wait...

A final thought to leave you with 'never turn your back on wisdom, for she will love you. Love her, and she will guard you'

God Bless
