This will be a quick blog tonight, mostly because even though Jeff and I texted quite a bit today, there really isn’t much new to report. Jeff said that church included some rockin’ worship and they greeted everyone there from the church back home. He was excited about the nice hotel in Bahir Dar (nothing like Humera last year) complete with indoor plumbing, beds, and lights. Very nice! If you’d like to see pictures of it, friends of ours stayed there in January when they adopted their daughter from Ethiopia. Their blog is www.thereishope-ethiopia.blogspot.com and you’ll see a few snapshots of the hotel if you look at the entry from January 12, 2011. I dare you not to check out pictures of their adorable daughter, Hermela, along the way!
After church the team visited a village in a rural community which Jeff said was very sad. In the same text he mentioned how excited he was to bring more people from NE Ohio there to help further the gospel. He reassured me that they are all very safe, but he couldn’t say the same for many of the Christians there.
I found this precious picture on Jeff’s computer today after I had written yesterday about the eyeglasses he helped distribute last year. Can’t you just feel his joy at wearing his very own prescription? I’ll look through more pics of last year’s trip to see if they might correspond to things the team is experiencing this year and post them if they’re close. Keep praying for the team – they’re certainly feeling it!
