May 4th, , which was Sunday, we randomly BBQ/ed a pig. Actually management decided to get rid of all the pigs in the barn because they are costing us too much feed and they are not bringing any money back. As Palmgrove doesn't have a consistent income now, we really can't afford to feed them.

So, there we all were, sitting in church listening to Inno's sermon on Freedom. What is the definition of "freedom" as a Christian, he asked us? Does it mean doing what you want? One definition he gave us is t....

Hello Everyone!
Seems like we have been slacking with the blogs. Well, let’s try another one. This May has gone by both slowly and fast. On May 1st we got to witness a Traditional Nigerian Marriage! I don't want to write a blog on it because Lance wrote about that one. You can read up on it in the Archives, August 2006.

Sorry if I didn't reply to them all, but I loved every one…;don't let my not replying discourage you…It's hard to email all the blog stuff to Lance; it takes a long time with reading emails and checking The Bridge. That takes about 3 hours. So I like to write my emails at home, put them on my thumbdrive and take them to town to mail. So, patience, my friends! And thanks again. Time would sure be ....

Once again, Brian and I are alone in this big ol’ house, this time unexpectedly and suddenly!Eddie Vetter from Cascade was feeling quite ill the last few weeks, and upon tests with doctors in Uyo, they decided he had better leave the country to get adequate treatment.The doctors met and consulted together, and felt that it would be wisest for Eddie Vetter to go to the nearest first world hospital; they were not quite up....
