Hey guys!!
I have been in Ethiopia for almost a month now, and I just wanted to update y’all on how I am doing!
I have good days, and the hard days hurt extra here.
I miss home, and find myself missing Guatemala more and more.
I miss hot showers, and the comfort of things from home.
I would do anything for a bag of Doritos.
I miss my sweet sister, and would jump off a mountain to hug her right now.
However…
I get to sit in remembrance of the amazing things about Guatemala, and sit and laugh and cry with my team.
Cold showers make me laugh.
No Doritos, but popcorn with Hershey sauce almost every night!!!
I love tea, and drink coffee when it taste like milk with sugar pretty much!
I see siblings and friends through the children’s eyes here. Through their hugs, and holding my hands. Love all 32 of these precious humans.
The cooks make my heart burst, and always surprise me with a spoon full of Nutella.
I get to love on the house moms, and training center woman daily.
Wait, and I think I chopped like 12 inches off of my hair !!!
I got lice, but its fine!
I celebrated Christmas and New Years in AFRICA!!! With 40 something people I love so much!!!
Worship in the living room, in three different languages, bringing the songs we know in Spanish , and singing in the language here.
And I get to watch the most beautiful sunrises, and sunsets, and then end the day looking at a million stars, and a moon that is so bright it could light up the whole world.
Im learning, and I’m growing, and hurting, but im loving, and loving, and loving, and being so loved.
Its a different season for sure, but I am so grateful for it, and even on the days Im not, I know I will look back, and remember and thank Jesus for this time.
But that’s all for now, Im living a good life, and learning how to remember that when I forget it!!!
Love you all, and miss you!!!
