Today the team traveled to Church at the normal time of 6AM. They headed back to Anawim, ate breakfast, and packed up the van for the trek down to Benin in Edo state. First, they visited the leper village outside Abuja and dropped off clothes for the residents. It was an experience that we will not soon forget. The team made it to Benin in just about seven hours. After meeting Sister Oresoa's mother and other family members for dinner, the team arrived at the monastery where they will be staying until Sunday. The monastery is very peaceful and a few of us are going to try to wake up at 3:30AM to participate in morning prayer with the monks. We are looking forward to seeing what the God has in store as we continue our journey.

I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I think of Nigeria every day.
My family and I are praying for all of you. May God bless you in this journey.
Please give Sr. Oresoa and all the sisters my love. Have you heard "the singing" sister yet? She is amazing.
Love,
Teresa
