Travel to Acre

Wow!  The time just flies by! Wednesday Case and I  arrived in Jos about 1130, having left Abuja at 0630, they put us up in Abuja,in a very nice apt. that a Christian business man rents out to our mission free of charge. No mosquitoes, TV, hot water what else could we wish for. The afternoon we spent getting $ exchanged, copies of passports, hearing where it would not be good area to be in  Jos and we settled in the guesthouse.  Had supper at Strydhorsts and had a great visit. Thursday we put the Hausa – English manuals together for the two  courses that we will teach here, 50 copies of each, and brought it to the AG compound where they could print it, and it would be ready by 4 PM on Fri. Well only part of it was finished and about 5 pages had turned around going from ch 1 to ch 5 then 4 etc.So we took a copy home and went there sat at 0900 to help collate it all, and the young man was terrific, and by noon we had the majority of the copies.  The rest will be coming with others on Wed. We packed and shopped and packed again and by Sat nite the pickup was fully loaded. We left this morning at 0630 and we arrived at Acre at the school at 4 PM,  We had no hassles, we chose Sun since the people that stop you for all the credentials etc are usually not there. It was a long trip, but went very well, It was 100 degrees when we arrived, and now it’s 930 PM and it’s a comfortable 84. We brought everything in the house, the students wives brought buckets of water to fill up our tank.  Case got all the solar stuff working, I cleaned the kitchen a bit, we had trouble getting the fridge working since where the gas goes in was all plugged until we found a needle to clean it out and presto, Case put it together and it is getting cooler. Many students, and of course the principal Jolly and Elizabeth , and the teacher Hezron and his wife Christy and their little boy Joshua all came to greet.  It’s good to be here, and we thank God for our good health and the opportunity to serve Him here.  Love you all so much, it’s quite nice to have internet in the house, and not have to drive 4 miles and sit in the car! Praise the Lord
