It's Emma again. We've had a full last couple of days. We met up with the Lewis family and visited various places on Monday. Tuesday, we taught in the morning like always, ate pizza at Passion Burger, saw Jimmy Carter's wife at Salem's shop, visted Sabahar Silk, and ate supper at Top View. It was pretty cool to see Mrs. Carter with Salem and several people in our group said hi to her right after I left. To make it even better, when we went to the Hilton to exchange money, she walked in. She was following us. Sabahar Silk was interesting. We got to see the whole cycle of the worm's life and how the silk was made. Rachel and I bought a beautiful red silk scarf there. Supper wasn't quite as funny as a couple nights ago, but it was still great.
Today, Aunt Judy helped me teach English and it was awesome to see her with the kids. She had tons of fun ideas and things went well. Also, at the school today I was excited to find out that I can sponsor a girl named Bethlehem. I'll have to share her story another time, but she is so sweet and I love her. Konjit and Ermias took us around to all of the Youth Impact homes this afternoon and it was cool to hear some of the stories. Two of the boys who used to live on the street shared their testimonies and it was really moving. It's awesome what God is doing in those places. When we got back to the house we made chocolate chip cookies, then Tsegaye and his son Estefanos took us to a delicious Texan restaurant called Rodeo. Our time here in Ethiopia has been amazing and I'm excited for the days to come.
