Posted on behalf of the Anthis family:
Our verse for our first month in Nigeria:
Joshua 1:9. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." That is the song that Austin and Allison performed (complete with hand-motions and animation) repeatedly for the customs officials in the Kano airport at 1am on the night we arrived in Nigeria. And that was just the word from the Lord that Cindy and I needed at that point, and since then as well.
Did we mention that Austin no longer has his favorite SIM baseball cap. We found out days later that Austin had given it away to a man at the Kano airport on the night that we arrived in Nigeria. When we asked him why he gave his favorite hat away, he told us "the man asked me for it, and he said he really liked it." Hopefully, we all can remain generous with the bounty that the Lord has provided.
