We have been in Nigeria an entire month. The people are amazing. But I have already said that. Today we went to a place by the ocean that was one of several ports where slaves were sold to go to many places around the world. It is horrible what humans will do to each other.
We went with Elder and Sister Winget and Rufus (who drove us). We like taking Rufus with us. He is a wonderful young man. He is getting married in 3 weeks. Congratulations to him.
This picture is inside the museum. We could see the chains and a big drinking bowl for all the slaves to share. We were afraid to take pictures here. One moment the guide was telling us we couldn't and after about 15 minutes he said we could. I was confused!
Last night we had dinner with the Wingets and then Lyndia came by. She showed us how to put these hats on our heads. We laughed and had a great time. Lyndia put one on her head. She looks spectacular. Look on facebook to see.
Monday we went to a Tri-Stake Single Adult Conference. We enjoyed being there. The young man in the middle of us has adopted us. We love it. He cmes and talks to us at work all the time. He even calls us Dad and Mom. I think his own dad works on the compound, too. We haven't met him yet. We met his brother, Phillip, though. He came to our office and asked us many dating questions. Questions about how you know when you are in love, the kind to last. He asked us if we are learning more things about each other on our mission. We have had several young single adults ask us for advice. I am the last person that should be asked. I can listen really well, though.

So glad to hear someone has adopted you. I think you would be great at giving advise about matters of the heart. You are such a kind a compassionate person.
