Recharging at Anawim

Today was a low key day for the NATIVITY:NIGERIA team. After a few packed days with tons and tons of excitement the team and the Sisters had some much needed rest and relaxation today. They took the day to recharge their batteries for the last half week with the Sisters. Tonight, the team had dinner with the local parish priest, Fr. Tumba, who invited them into his home. Tomorrow, the team will head South for a few days in Benin City, where Sister Oresoa's family is originally from. They are leaving first thing in the morning to make the long drive through the Nigerian countryside.

Hi guys! I feel I'm living vicariously through you with your daily updates the past week. With a few more days left, soak in as much as you can. Enjoy the countryside and smell the roses (or the cacti). Try the boiled peanuts (with shells) - make sure Sister picks them for you. Send our love to everybody in Anawim. Can't wait for pictures and more stories!!
Travel safe...
