Off to See the Animals!




Next we head to Yankari where we hope to see lots of elephants and lions and not so many mango-stealing baboons. We'll have a few relaxing days doing day trip safaris out into the jungle. Then relax in the afternoon or evening at the warm springs.

So far time has flown by. At the hospital we've had some amazing stories of patients and weird spells and voodoo causing unconsciousness and illness. Yesterday one of the residents pulled a stone on a string out of one patient's mouth and he instantly regained consciousness. Strange stuff!

We've been eating our fill of mangos, pineapples and bananas. Lots of fun animals to play with.

We'll be in London next and then back to SoCal.

Nigerian Happenings

"Baba" waiting for us to pick him up for church on Sabbath.



Village lady with food on her head, baby on back, picking up machete to hop in our pickup for a ride.




Here's some pictures of the proposal site if you haven't seen them yet. Yes, it's true, i'm engaged! Kimball suprised me in front of the most beautiful waterfall we had ever seen. OK, maybe we were just really hot from the jungle trek to get there.



Hope all is well where ever you are. I will be back in the States June 6. The wedding will be July 30 if possible. (I know, we're crazy...but who can make it to a New Zealand wedding?)
