I love my Thursdays with my sister, Virginia, and my 93-year old mom. I rush to drive the 35 miles to be there by 8:15 am and always find them just rolling out of bed. We spend two hours over coffee and toast, then another half hour perusing our IPads together. At 11:00 am, I […]
Thursday morning, we were saddened to find Marie had a migraine and Doug had a stomach issue. So after praying for their speedy recovery, the rest of us returned to Warancha to say our goodbyes. We played the cookie game again, which they love. We told two stories: the death of Jesus and His resurrection. […]
Day 3 in Warancha. We knew this would be our longest day with the children, so we were prepared with games, skits and songs. Again, the children greeted us with songs.

Selam New. Greetings. How are you? So let me back track to Thursday morning when we landed in Addis Ababa. I had not slept on the 16-hour flight, much to my dismay. Our guide and translator, Alex, and his driver, picked up our 7-member team and 14 suitcases along with all our carryon and went […]
What an experience today! We didn’t have internet access yesterday, so eventually I will go back and recap what we did, but today takes the cake (we’re having fun with our guides and American expressions)! We left the Providence Guest House in Addis Ababa at 7 AM after coffee and warm banana bread made by […]
So why am I excited, you may ask. I am going on my first overseas mission trip to Ethiopia. In the past, I have served in a local ministry and traveled to Acuna (across the border into Mexico). I have traveled overseas, but not on a mission trip. So here’s what’s so exciting. In 1975 […]
