* It can get cold in Nigeria….like tonight! As the rains come in the late afternoons/evenings, we wrap up in sweatshirts and blankets to stay cozy. We are so thankful to some prayer partners in Springfield who sent sweatshirts and other friends who sent blankets!
* When going to the hospital, or even visiting the doctor, you must profess your religion. Yep, on our hospital (registration) card, we wrote “Christian” right beside our name.
* In Nigeria we drive on the “right” side of the road. Technically that would be right (as in opposite of left), but in reality we drive wherever we can get through without hitting or getting hit by cars, motorbikes, and potholes.
* Two “simple” things we enjoyed the most (beyond people) while in the States were water and ice. Water-we drank from the tap, showered a few times a day, enjoyed the constant stream of water from any sink, tub or shower we turned on without pumping or filtering it. Ice-due to lack of constant electricity, we don’t always have ice here. I know it must be a cultural thing…to enjoy iced drinks so much, but we do! And that crushed Sonic ice…Glorious!
