Hello everyone! Our severe jet lag has hindered our ability to blog the last couple of days, but we have had a great time. The plane ride was extremely long. When we finally made it to Ethiopia there were four people waiting for us t the airport. Tsegaye, Konjit, Ermias, and Abraham welcomed us to the country. The morning after we arrived, we accidentally slept until 1:30 P.M. Ethiopian time! (That’s 6:30 A.M. for all you Americans back home.) Currently, we are sitting in the Swiss CafĂ© trying to connect to blogger. We all four got a drink for less than two dollars. We drink tea or coffee a lot throughout the day. We have made lots of new friends the last couple of days. All the people here are so beautiful! They are all so friendly and sweet. Last night we went with Abraham to the Monday night Bible study with all of the ministry leaders. It was an amazing experience to listen in on their study of fellowship. Their love and joy for God and one another was very evident in all that they did. The Bible study was at the girl’s home an we were able to meet a few of the girl’s, but we didn’t get to spend time with them. Today, we are exploring the area and getting used to life here in Addis. Tomorrow, we will go to Destiny, the school Jessica worked at during her last visit. We'll update more later! Miss you all!
