In Ethopia.

hello folks! hope you are doing well. just wanted to give you a quick shout from addis ababa. i stayed here overnite at a motel and fly to kigali in an hour. my flights have been good so far, no delays or anything. i was majorly bummed though because i left my bible on the airplane. that will bless someone else though. (so maybe when jonathan comes he can bring me one, wink wink). i am so excited to land in kigali soon! i met an american (from ia) who is on his way to tanzania to oversee a building project of a 18-cottage orphanage. he is a structural architect who also runs a child sponsorship program at an orphanage in haiti. so, it was so great to chat with him and talk about how he does things. we were both sharing stories with each other about our experiences in our respective countries. it is so refreshing to talk with him since he has the same heart, burden, and holy discontent that i have. i love it here! all the sounds and sights. addis ababa looks very much like kigali does. ok, i must run. thanks for all of the prayers and thoughts. talk to you soon :)
