We have arrived in Addis Ababa, safe and sound! Our last flight going to Addis was about 11 and a half hours long, the majority of the time we slept, ate, and watched movies haha It hasn't really sunk in to me yet that we are here but after a few days hopefully we will be a little bit more adapted and used to the culture change. One aspect that surprised me was how many people there are, people are everywhere, it might take a little while to just adjust to that but we have a month and that should be enough time :p We are looking forward to going to Abenezer Orphanage and meeting all the staff and kids, also something that we found out before we boarded our plane in Edmonton was that January 7th is Christmas here in Ethiopia!! So cool!! It will be amazing to see and hear how they celebrate, we are hoping to make some connections before so that we can really be involved in the joyous occasion!! Thanks again for walking beside us through this journey!
God Bless,
Monika
