Farewell to Ethiopia

Farewell to Ethiopia ..... for now.

Today was our last full day in Ethiopia.  Tomorrow will be our travel day to Kenya.
 I’ve had an enjoyable time working with the group of street boys.  Despite their terrible living conditions and challenges with addictions, they are a wonderful polite helpful bunch who have good hearts.  I know I will continue to keep them in my heart and prayers, praying that they will understand the love of God and know that God can give them the strength to kick their habits and begin a new life off the streets. 

Dave ended his teaching program well.  After driving across the Blue Nile River bridge twice everyday he finally spotted a hippo in the water.  That made his day! 
In the afternoon he had a meeting with the clients he will be working with in 10 days time.  That's right, after our time in Kenya, Dave will return to Bahir Dar, while I will return home.

We had a wonderful evening eating home-made pizza (US-style), and visiting with Andrea and Jeremy and their family.  They have been such a blessing to us, giving us a better understanding of Ethiopia through North American eyes.
