So, I'm a little frustrated with Verizon right now. I have no internet access on my phone, so I'm not able to check my e-mail or post as frequently as I would like to.
Trust me, there is much to tell about my adventures here...
Yesterday, Yinka's mother came over for her birthday dinner. There was so much food...white rice, jollof rice, fried rice, chicken, spicy beef, moi-moi, and cake. We had a good time dancing, laughing, and showing his mum much love.
Yesterday was the first time I met Yinka's mum, and she was so kind to me. It's quite obvious that her gentle spirit lies within each of her children.
Other than the birthday dinner, we went to a shopping center with a few of Yinka's friends, and I got to ride around the island for a bit yesterday.
Today, we're going to see an American International School, and then off to the market to do some shopping. I want to buy some artwork and fabric. I've also seen a number of Nigerian treats that I plan to bring back to share with everyone. Tomorrow...I'm going to see the seamstress to try on my dresses for the big birthday celebration for Yinka's mom on Sunday...can we all pray that I fit into this dress...if it doesn't fit, who knows what I'll do.
So, that's about it for this posting. I'm having a great time do far...it's so weird, life is quite different here, but in some ways it also feels much like home.
I hope to post again tonight or Thursday, so be sure to check back in to see what's going on over here with me!
Peace & Blessings,
DMW
