We wanted to write a quick note saying that we made it safely. Our travels were just about flawless. We are both lacking on sleep but have already been busy orienting ourselves to our new home. We will write more later, we are spending time with some people from the Naval Academy, which has been keeping us on our toes. We played a soccer match against the Faith Alive Soccer Team today, and lost terribly, but none the less, it was a great time! I also wanted to say that we miss our families and friends immensely already, and thank everyone for all their support. We love you and miss you. We will try to blog again when we get a chance, sorry for the short report, but we have been very busy. Lots of love and we will try to write more soon.

Hey Jon & Kristen!
Welcome to Nigeria! So glad you arrived safely and that travels went smoothly!! Hope you can get rested up soon!
I miss you guys already but I'm so excited that this adventure has begun for you. You are definitely in our prayers.
I head out tomorrow for my trip. I only have about 140 pages left to read--can you believe it? And you thought it couldn't be done... :-)
Enjoy!!

Dear JP and Kristen,
Glad to hear that you have arrived without too much hassle. Dylan wants to know if it is hot in Nigeria and Ryan would like to know what you're doing. And, is there river to "float?" We're doing well and hoping that your adjustment goes smoothly.
Cheers,
Mary Ledman and Family
