City of Mercy - Osun State Nigeria

We are off to a good start in Nigeris. We are back in Abeokuta now but Thursday through Saturday afternoon we drove to the outskirts of Iwo in Osun State. I was preaching two nights of camp meeting and a one day Ministers Confetence for Pastor Isaac Adewale. 

We had a great time at the City of Mercy and met a bunch of new friends along the way. We have a gob of pictures so I will just jump in here and there with some color commentary. I will try to post more tomorrow. 

Here was the temperature difference our first morning in Nigeria.

You know it is going to be a hot day when it is almost 87 degrees at 9:30 AM INSIDE!

A big diesel generator to run the whole grounds when electricity is out which is often. 

 If you receive an email each night alerting you to new posts, you only receive an alert to the latest post. If we have posted more than once in that day you will need to go to the blog itself to see the previous post. 

Thank you for reading.

Birthday Celebration

Hello everyone, this is Odie checking in again. Dad may also post later  today, when they get back to wifi. Remember our post schedule may be a little off right now. 

In Monday's blog post Dad mentioned our birthday dinner last Friday for my Aunt Theresa. It was wonderful to have a big part of our clan together for a little while. 

Aunt Theresa, I love you so much!!  Thank you for being an Awesome Aunt! 

 

 

 

That was Friday's birthday fun. The celebration continued on Saturday. For our cousin Lisa Isaacs. It was a honor to be invited to join Lisa's family at her birthday dinner. 

 

 

 

Lisa is an amazing lady and I count it an honor to call her my cousin and friend. Thanks, Lisa, for just being you. I appreciate all you do for our family. I love you! Thank you for including me in your birthday dinner. 

And that is a wrap on the family birthdays for the week. We have a few more coming up soon.  I hope you have a super weekend.

On The Hunt Again

Hello, I hope you are having a great day. This is Odie reporting in from Ohio. My Papaw Eugene heard from Dad this morning and they are doing well in Nigeria. They had a service this morning and another this evening. In Nigeria it is 6 hours ahead of us in Ohio, and they are still adjusting to the time change.

 Deer season in full swing here in Ohio. I have been itching to try my hand at hunting again. My Uncle Danny and Papaw Danny Morgan have take me hunting 3 different seasons. I really enjoyed hunting, even though I have not got a deer yet.

 

 

 I had to pass a hunters safety course to be able to hunt again in Ohio. In the past few years I have not been able to take the course but I was determined to make it happen this year. That was my special project I mentioned last Saturday. In Ohio you can study for the course online, attend a 4 hour class and take a test to pass the course. 

I spent hours studying the online workbook. 

 

 

I was very nervous about taking the test. Several people that had been through the test assured me I would pass. But my test taking skills were rusty. 

Last Saturday morning I had to attend the class. My studies paid off and I had good instructors. Thank you to several of you that prayed for my nerves! I am happy to report I passed the test. 

 

Thanks to Papaw Eugene, He took me to my class and stayed with me the whole time. It was good to have him for moral support. We ended our outing with a visit to Skyline for lunch. 

 

 

Now in the next couple weeks the hunt will be on again. I am excited to hunt again. I will fill you in on the hunting news as it becomes available. Hopefully I will have great news a pictures to share. 

Have a fantastic Friday. 

Odie
