Catching Up

     Well, it has been a few (more like quite a few) days since I have written. Africa has not been cooperating with my 30 days of Thankfulness these past few weeks. Rather than double and triple, or quadruple post as the case may be, I opted to pull another "I have forgiving readers" card and scrap it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get to start up again and finish out the month strong.
     Just to catch you up on the latest happenings of Ethiopia, in typical Africa fashion we had another few days of power outages. Other than that life has been pretty normal. We are preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving with our missionary friends this week. It is so strange preparing to celebrate without all of the typical holiday buzz. Between the continuation of normal day to day life and the lack of change in temperature it really does not feel like the end of November at all. I think it is weird preparing for Thanksgiving without the typical holiday buzz, I cannot even imagine what it will feel like welcoming Christmas. Either way the month and my projects here are moving right along. Today was our first rainy day since leaving Chencha--the dry season is getting a little break. It made the perfect excuse to stay inside at the orphanage and get a few extra snuggles with the munchkins.


In other news, I started my SECOND newsletter and it should be ready to send out shortly after Thanksgiving. If you are not on the mailing list and would like to receive it, email your name and address to goservelove.giving365@gmail.com . I would love to include you!
