I left Minnesota on April 15th. So today is the last day of the first month of the trip.
Yesterday I visited the Yola Diocese Secretariat. Bishop Edward Ishaya was out in the future chicken house and future school dormitory. His office was too hot so he moved out here where the breeze was cooler. They are building a school for 9th through 12th grades. The current Lutheran Secondary Schools in Yola end at 8th grade . They had enough money to put up a few dormitory buildings but cannot go further. So the plan is to add chicken wire to the window and use them as chicken houses to help raise the money to finish the school. Just outside the chicken/student housing are four concrete fish tanks with 6,000 catfish. The waters are calm until you toss in a hand full of feed.

The Cathedral is hosting a national gospel singers convention from Wednesday through Saturday. The sing all evening and have speakers also. The evangelist was loud and passionate up until after midnight. Then the cd vendors that have come to sell their wares cranked up their speakers until 2 AM. People are camping out here. The group of women started a fire and got a pot of pounded yams going about 8:30 am. This afternoon the goats where up on the pots eating.
