Selam!


Greetings from hot and sunny Africa. After more than 30 hours of travel, our weary bodies were finally able to rest last night in our lovely Guest Home, the Genesis Home at the Ethiopia Guest House.


We spent the first hour crowded around my cell phone hungry for any news of the St. Joseph Christian Lions game and had great sorrow for the girls on their loss (WAY TO FIGHT girls!) and great happiness when the guys were able to advance. It’s been fun to share in the high schooler’s excitement for their team, even if we are halfway around the world!


This morning we were able to sleep in, eat breakfast then head to Beza International Church. The international church has such an amazing atmosphere with many nations represented and praising God all under one roof! Our soccer ministry with the street kids got cancelled so we decided to head to the Layla House (a transitional home through Adoption Advocates International). We’ll update later about that experience!


Tonight we’re headed (after Layla House) to the Garden of Eden Restaurant and then Fantu (supermarket) where the kids can get some food supplies. Our prayers would be for those who don’t feel great (dealing with altitude sickness) to overcome the nausea and lightheadedness.


Thanks for supporting us and praying for us as we head to Kind Hearts tomorrow to view our clean water well and put shoes on some tootsies that badly need them!
