Last blog post from Africa

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,
