We made it

Hello all,
We are now in Jos and getting settled in.
After 21 hrs of traveling on Monday we were happy to spend Tuesday night in Abuja.Yesterday morning we drove up to Jos and had a great time seeing the country. Yesterday and this morning we had a chance to meet some of the other families, more tonight.They have all been very warm and have made us feel very welcome.The meals have been wonderful (so much for my idea of dropping some weight).
The guys are making friends by the hour with kids from the other missionary families.
One thing has made me feel especially secure. As some of you may know, Jos has seen some recent violence. As a father I was hoping that we would have an extra layer of security for my children.
In addition to gates and guards around the compound, every missionary family has great guard dogs, one family has a rotweiler, many have german shephards.

See below and meet Ginger and Nutmeg (not sure which one is Nutmeg)

I do believe  that our guard dogs are by far the best in Nigeria. I will sleep well while here knowing they are on the job.
See you tomorrow, Scott
