Our first full week was off to a bit of a rocky start because after going to bed early to make sure that I got my rest I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep. GRR. Monday morning is safety meeting, and the first Monday of the month is the whole group together so you can't be late. We tried to drink enough water and we are glad that we both have a place to refill our water bottles that is very close to our work areas. In the evening we have Bethel Family Watchtower study. We enjoy the singing very much. They sing with great feeling here. The brother who conducted was wearing a traditional African outfit and looked impressive.
Some mornings when you wake up there is a beautiful mist/fog. Tuesday morning was a misty morning. I love that, walking to and from morning worship in the early morning mist. It feels so jungley. (My new word for the day.)

| See what I mean? Practically paradise! |
At work Tuesday my job was to measure and roll offcuts of wire. It's very dirty work. I was covered in red dust! The mist lightens up mid morning and then it's pretty much just plain hot. So I was glad when my overseer taught me to change ballasts in some lights! (This means working in front of a FAN!)

| Yay! It works. Do you notice the fan behind me?? It's my favorite piece of equipment in the warehouse. |
I started to learn some Yoruba words during this week too. I'll share some as we go. My first Yoruba word was Ekaro. I have no idea how to spell these words, I'm just going with how it sounds to me. It is pronounced Eh-car-oh. It means good morning. It's nice to know some greeting words because in Nigeria it's very important to greet people. In the evening Matt went to play hockey. I made croutons and cookies while he was gone. He brought back a hockey stick and so that means he has to go the next week!:)
