We Made It!

After a long 2 days... which actually felt like 1 day, we finally made it into Niamey, Niger and MAN IS IT HOT! It was actually a little cooler when we arrived at 91 degrees, but it should get up into the low 100's the whole time we are here. 

It's 900pm here and I am exhausted so I won't be doing a complete email, but I am working on a written journal entry for the past 2 days and then I will try to send another email out to you.

Alison, Greg and I will be leaving for Danja tomorrow at 7am in a SUV that has some chilly air that blows out but nothing like AC in the states. There is also a girl here who has been volunteering all over Niger and her brother and mom are visiting her now. They will be traveling to Danja with us tomorrow. 

We were welcomed warmly today by the Nigerians and a family of missionaries who have been here for quite a while. Susan is a doctor and her and her husband Jeremey have 3 adorable daughters, 8, 6 and 2 years old. They are all extremely bright. There is a clinic outside of the guest house where people can come and get treatment for anything and everything. Jill will be staying here while Alison and I head out to the bush. 

My favorite part so far.... there are goats everywhere! They just hang out on the street. I may or may not come back with a baby goat in my trunk. :)

I miss you all! Will update as soon as possible!!!

Thank you so much for your prayers as this journey begins!

Love, Kaitlin
