Sunday we went to church, attended a baptism of 2 young people (young to me) and went to a dedication of an Eye Clinic. It is actually called an Eye Hospital and is owned by a man in the Ikeja Ward, which is the ward we attend. He is a man of dedication and intelligence. He is a man known around the world for his abilities. It was a priviledge to be invited to go. First we toured the building. We went from floor to floor as it was explained what each room would be used for. Then part of those invited went into a waiting room where we sang hymns (Tim conducting the music) and then Elder Ojideran gave the dedicatory prayer. During the prayer we stood in a circle and held hands with the people standing next to us. Top picture is Tim and Elder Winget standing on top of the Hospital. The next picture is about 1/4 of the people who attended the open house. The eye doctor and his wife are the ones in the middle. She is a little taller than her husband and wearing teal and purple. They are a really incredible couple.
The picture below is way out of order. It should either be last, or first. Not in the middle. If you look closely you will see a domed roof building and another building with two pointed spires. That is a mosque. We hear the Muslim chants often during the day at the mosque by the compound.
Elder Ojideran is on the left and a man in the ward (Brother Chukwurah) is standing on the right, as you face the camera.
