It's Sunday night here and getting near kick off time for those of you in Cowboy land.
We only have three more full days here.
Tomorrow some of us will go to Guerro to say final goodbyes while others will do some shopping and tourism in Jos.
We'll go to Blind Town tomorrow afternoon and see the blind and lepers that live there.
We were told today that lepracy is no longer contagious after a week or so of getting the disease.
It's also currable and the only way to spread it is to sneeze in someone's face directly.
It's amazing to think that it's so rare to get and is curable yet an entire village of lepers live here in Jos.
Tuesday we'll do more shopping and sight seeing and say our last goodbyes to the boys at TH and Gidan Bega.
That will be tough. In just the few times we've seen them I've become close to several of them.
Pray that God will continue to teach and strengthen the boys.
There are many needs but praise God many are being met as well.
Enjoy the Cowboys v Philadelphia game today.
Pray for safety and boldness as we finish our final days here in Jos. Pray for safety as we fly home later this week as well.
God bless.

Margie and I have been wondering what TH is. I reread your journaling and found it is Transition House where the boys go before they go to Guera.
I believe you will see great faith by the Christians you meet in Blind Town. Your faith will probably be challenged by some who say they cannot believe. I am confident you will love them anyway. They cannot deny God's love for them as you love them in His power and wisdom.
We love you and are praying for you all. Our home team friends, Dave and Donna Zink, who are attending LPBC, know many of the people on the trip with you. They have been very impressed with the people, their reports, and the impact the Jos trips have had at LPBC.
We miss you but know God is able and faithful to keep you in his will and in his hands as you are available to Him.
I pray for your boldness and humility as you share his love whenever you can with everyone you can. It is great to hear how God is loving you and others, too.
