Orientation Day 2

As part of our orientation we went first thing in the morning to the computer department to learn about using the internet here properly.  After that we went to the plumbing department.  To.....learn to use the plumbing properly!  Well, even though we are accustomed to indoor plumbing, many who come here are not so it's important to be taught!  We learned you must not wash anything down the sink except water.  Bethel here is all self contained and so they get the water from deep in the earth and draw it up and treat it just in case. Then after it is used it is treated it goes into the fields around us for farmers to use.  So they have to be very strict so that there are no blockages which create tremendous work for the plumbing department.  The water we drink is pure and safe though, it is so nice not to have to be careful of our water here!  Apparently the plumbing department used to show pictures to newcomers to impress on them the importance of respecting the plumbing here but we missed out on that.  Then it was time for the tour of the construction site with our safety brother.  The project here is not in full swing, at least not compared to before.  Many are going home or being reassigned so there will be many changes like that while we are here.  While we toured we saw this:

Sheetrock with insulation attached prior to installing!

Never saw something like that before!   We met this brother who is an inventive cyclist:

See what is on the back of his bike?

Here they have many insects and they have quite a variety of pretty butterflies:

Afterwards we were able to meet with our construction overseer and learn about what we will be doing for the next few months here.  Next was lunch, and then we met with a couple different brothers who gave us some more insights into life here in Nigeria and at Bethel.  

We were so tired in the evening we fell asleep right after dinner!  We only woke up to brush our teeth and then fell asleep again!  

Friday was our first real day of work.  More on that later!
