life in ethiopia

I can't believe that I've been here over a month already! Time is flying by!

I celebrated the 4th of July with a large group of expatriates- most from the United States, but some from Sweden, Canada, and Australia as well. The event was complete with watermelon, hamburgers, potato salad, and 3 fireworks! Yep, that's right folks, you can get fireworks here! I made sure I kept myself at a safe distance, however, as they were a bit sketchy...

This week I was sick for the first time. Oh the joys of your body adjusting to a different place, foods, etc. Praise God, it was short-lived and I'm better now :)

On Sunday, I'm going to be traveling outside of Addis to visit my World Vision sponsor child. I'm super excited to see a different area of the country and get outside of the city for a few days. I've sponsored her for about 5 years, so I'm really excited to meet her! This is one of those goals in life that you're not sure if it will happen, and now it is! I can't wait.

Please pray for safety in traveling, and that we would have a good time of fellowship and time together.
