On Friday we left for Miango-about a 45 minute drive from Jos-for a weekend of fun. The staff at Miango Rest Home created a weekend wonderland for missionaries and their families. We enjoyed movies on the tennis courts (like a drive in theatre!) in the evenings. The kids got glow in the dark necklaces, Bass Pro Shop hats, tattoos (the kind that wash off, eventually), popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, and SO much fun! On Saturday, a carnival was held. I am not sure if the little kids, teens or adults (AKA "big kids") had the most fun! The food was terrific and the fellowship sweet. The kids sure slept well at night, too! A team from Texas had been in Jos for almost two weeks. One of the ladies cut hair ALL day on Saturday. We all stood in line and were blessed with a fresh cut. The team also helped run the carnival so the parents could enjoy being with their own kids. This was a much needed stress-reliever weekend.
