This evening we were able to catch up with the Jos team at Faith Alive Hospital. They have limited internet access but were able to send us over the great pictures above. Today, they had orientation and started to get acquainted with the town of Jos. Also, they met Suzie & Esther, medical students from London at Faith Alive Hospital. They are hanging out with Erika from Colorado (her blog is also on the right side). Today was the first full day in Abuja for the Anawim Home team who are also doing well. After a slight luggage snafu, it looks like everyone will have all of their gear on Monday. After talking to Ed and Rob Douglas tonight, it seemed as though everyone was a little tired but excited for the next few days. Looks like there are a great few weeks ahead of them.

FYI: Ed King, the leader of the Faith Alive Hospital team has had to change the SIM card in his phone. The new number is: +234 07037994861.

Thanks so much for posting......especially for the families of the 2 teams. I am Rob Devereux's Mom and I check the blog several times throughout the day (and night) for any information on how and what they are doing. I wait with anticipation for your next posting. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
