Travel with Me: 99 to Go!

         We have made it to the double digits. I cannot believe it! Was it not just yesterday that I was in awe of making it to the150 day mark? So, with 99 days until I take off, I thought I would give you all a photo tour of the life I am stepping into--a life that is my dream come true.

Here is just a small peak into Ethiopia. 

This is what my work will look like in Ethiopia. Here, my host Jess is working with the village kids. When I say "teaching the kids of the village" this is a very realistic view of what I mean. 

This is where I'll be living. Welcome to my home!

Here is a peak into the kitchen area. And below..... Bathroom anybody?

For now, this is what we're looking at for water... However, I believe I heard word that there may be a pump that works during the rainy season. 

       

          From what I understand, this is a shot from my back yard (or close to it). Talk about a view! This is the farm I will be living at. The Forsaken Children, the organization I am working with, is working to establish sustainability for their street children mission project. They do this through teaching the people of Ethiopia about agriculture. Between their orchard and chicken hatchery, they've got it going on. 

       These are pictures of the place that holds my heart. I have not yet been there, and all I have shared is what I have gathered from e-mails with my amazing host family... but somehow, in some unexplainable way, I feel like I know this place. Like it is already home.

Please continue to pray for everybody involved as this journey of life continues.
