Wow, it's been a whirlwind end of summer. The end of August meant the start of school and a lot of preparation for our September trip to Ethiopia! The third for Dan and the second for me. We took of Sept. 13th, after settling Grammy in with our three kids. We landed in Addis September 14th and we were off and running for 8-9 days straight. We saw homes and families associated with the Children and Community Development Center we support, called Yezelalem Minch. It was a wonderful yet sometimes heartbreaking trip. So good though. It is easy to live in America where the majority of us are in warm homes with two cars and plenty in the pantry. For so many in Ethiopia, their lives are a struggle each day...the term "daily bread" really applies in a lot of cases. We have so much to learn from them about leaning on God for our every need.
When we got back we found our kids better off than before, full of pancakes and bacon and cocoa and Grammy-snuggles. Just as it ought to be! I am so thankful for my mom and how she is still young enough to chase after these crazy kids!
That's all for now!
