This will be
our last blog entry. We have had a
wonderful experience in the Lagos Nigeria Mission. We can honestly say we have
maximized our efforts and abilities to serve the Lord. We hate to leave the wonderful people of West
Africa. We have interacted with many
people whom we deeply love and admire.
The people of West Africa are a religious people—they truly love our
Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. When
we received our call to serve in Nigeria we told our children if they can get
to Africa we would treat them to a safari at the end of our mission. We were asked to extend our mission, but we
needed to go on the safari, so we did the safari and returned to our mission
for a few more weeks.
We will
attach a few pictures from our mission and some form our safari and stay in
Cape Town, South Africa. Our thanks and
love to you all! We are grateful for
your love, prayers and support.
Love,
