Nigeria Short Term Trip. Thursday, June 22, 2006. So yesterday I left everything that I have ever known as normal and jumped on a jet plane to take off for what they call "Sunny Nigeria". Sounds blissful! Yet saying goodbye was way tougher than I would have ever guessed it to be when I decided to follow God to Nigeria this summer. 1) For making it safely into North Carolina for my 5 day training course. 2) The way that he orchestrated all the plane flights among many other things.

Nigeria Short Term Trip. Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Encouragement From Around The Globe. Posted by Randy Vogl at 4:28 PM. Anyways, SIM has a huge resort facility out in miango that is used for large SIM meetings and also as a place for long term missionaries to take their families. It is located relatively close to the Missionary Kids Boarding School, so it makes for a convienent place to escape. Posted by Randy Vogl at 2:24 PM. Eugene, Oregon, United States.

Nigeria Short Term Trip. Friday, June 30, 2006. Well I have safely made it into Jos, Nigeria. I got in on Tuesday night late and stayed in Abuja (the capital) for the evening. The hotel had a little bit to be desired :) However, I did manage to sleep quite well. Anyways, I have been here for a couple days now and am still working through Jet Lag, Culture, Training, Settling in, ect. But everything is going well and I am really enjoying it!

Nigeria Short Term Trip. Thursday, July 06, 2006. Some Things Never Change! So today I killed the fly of my dreams it took me three seperate times to finally kill it and have yet to get the courage to actually pick it up.
