Kaduna

Today we arrived in Kaduna after a 3 hour bus ride. And not like a bus ride in America--much more frightening! :) they drive crazy here! there has been more than one occasion I thought I was going to die! Jk

Its been a very hard day for me and the team! Today was the first day I really broke down and sobbed uncontrolably! After visiting several villages and seeing the children I just couldn't stop crying. Its forever touched my heart! They are the cutest children and so happy all the time! I hug as many of them as I can and they love to touch my skin. As I indicated earlier many of them have never seen a white person.

We got back from the villages and we are staying at St Gerards hospital here in the city. I'm going to be honest when I say its the worst place I've ever stayed in my life. Its so hot here and we have no showers or electricity much of the time! Its been hard getting used to but we will survive. I know that God is using me to do so much good in these peoples lives the least I can do is give up showering and electricity for 2 weeks! Its so worth it to see the children happy!

Tomorrow we are going to visit more villages to habd out much needed supplies and toys for the children. I'm excited for that. We also have a polio vaccination clinic tomorrow. that will be cool.

Again to all my followers---please keep praying for me and the team! I'm told it will just be harder from this point forward. Love you all!
