Hey everyone, just a quick update from our first day here in Addis. After 25 hours of travel from one airport or another we finally got here and it was relatively as smooth as it could have been. We got to our guest house around 11:00 pm last night and fell straight asleep.
This morning we were carried to the Thomas Center to see the children there and what sweet babies and children are there right now. The nannies were all so sweet to show us around and allow us to play with the children for a little while. After that we left and spent time at the CHI office with Abdissa. We were able to spend several hours there with him, what an awesome man he is, just a genuine sweet soul he has. After we left the office our driver brought us back to the guest house where we spent most of the afternoon napping, trying to catch up on some lost sleep and jet lag. The weather here is beautiful, around 75 deg and a constant breeze blowing. I'm pretty sure I could take that year round!
Tomorrow morning Abebe, YWAM's Ethiopian director, is carrying us to Adama to meet our girls!!! To say we are excited is the under statement of the century. I'm sure that I will be restless all night wondering if the morning is here yet. We will also get to carry all the donations from everyone with us to the Widows and Orphans home. I cannot tell you what a blessing you are for giving, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The difference you have made cannot be explained. The lives you will have touched will last lifetimes. That's really about all for now, we'll try to keep everyone updated more later in the week.
Much love for everyone from Ethiopia,
Nick and Millie
