Hello! Day two in Addis, and it's already feeling much more comfortable. We learned a new word - ahmesugenalew, which means "thank you." I'm not sure how proud of this fact we should be though, because it took us two days :) Slowly but surely, right? Below we posted photos of our first coffee ceremony. It's about an hour long, and involves three cups of coffee and popcorn. The grass, flowers and popcorn on the floor are for decoration. The orange and white circle is actually steamed bread, which they make for special occasions. It is a very common custom here, and it's a lot of fun to be a part of! We were able to meet another family staying here, and it was really great to spend time with them and their kids. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Tomorrow we're going to visit the orphanage, which we are really excited about. If you want to pray for anything specific, please pray that God keep working out the details of our trip, and that we will continue to stay healthy and well rested.
God bless!
