Dejee is a greeting here! Hey guys I'm here! The flights was so LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG and bumpy.
One here I spent the night in Lagos, which is where I flew into and then the next day flew to Enugu, the state where the orphanage is, had about an hour car ride. [Driving here is nuts.] So after 17 hours of traveling, not including the time I spent in the London airport or in Lagos, I arrived.
And man what a welcome! SO. PRECIOUS. I was surrounded by beautiful children all saying "Welcome Briet!" Which is how they say my name. Oh goodness I fell in love instantly.
I have two roommates. They are 5 year old boys. I give them their bath and help them get ready for school in the morning. I love it! But they snore all night....
I'm adjusting to the time...kinda...
I'm trying to learn all the names and some of the language, but I don't think I'm very good. My accent is already changing, so it helps them understand me better.
I'll post more pictures later. But I'm in a hurry now. The kids are out of school for Children's Day. I love you guys and hope all is well!
Praying!! Love it. Cabt wait to read nore and,see pictures!! Love u.
