Hi Everyone,Happy Father's Day! Today we're gonna show you around our bungalow a little bit. The first week we were here we took pictures, but we've added a few things to make it a bit more attractive and thought you might like to see the changes. The President of Nigeria is Goodluck Jonathan (that's really his name) and on many of the street corners there are hawkers selling anything from live chickens, rat traps, watches (yea right - "do I have a deal for you!" grin) etc., but a very popular item since the recent election of their President is the above picture of their President. Corrie thought her dad, in honor of Father's Day, might enjoy the picture so that was his Father's Day gift. We mean no disrespect to the President, but we had a good laugh. Oh, and by the way, the hanging tab on the back of the picture was on the bottom of the picture, so poor President Jonathan would be hanging upside down if we hung the picture up. Oh dear!
Crist is sitting at our dining room table which is directly opposit from the computer (picture to the left). There are maybe four steps between the two. The kitchen (below) is the room you enter into when you come into our bungalow. The green plastic tub to the left of the sink is the "rinsing" station filled with bleach water that we rinse all our dishes in. We change the water a couple of times a day. It's not the perfect system, but it works and so far we've remained healthy. (Praise the Lord!)
The top picture above is our living area, and where we spend the most time when we're home. At the end of the green rug is the computer station and on the other side is the table - comfy, huh?The Jesus poster we brought with us from the states when we came over and we like the message - it about says it all, right?

It was a lively service with lots of music and probably between 350 to 450 people packed into the benches. But we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of little Daniel's special day. After church, we came home, changed clothes and then went to Corrie and John's for a special Father's Day lunch - yummy.
Before we sign off, we wanted to praise the Lord for our son, Crist, and our three sons-in-law, Chris, John and Heath. Happy Father's Day to each of you. You are all such wonderful fathers to your children and we love you all. We thank the Lord every day for you!
In-joy,
Eileen and Crist
