Our first days in Ethiopia

We arrived safely to Ethiopia; unfortunately our luggage was still in Germany! Thank God that it only took 2 days before we finally received our luggage. In any case, Ethiopia is a wonderful place and the people are beautiful. The organization we were with provided us with an opportunity to visit with many people. We met people who were hungry; not just spiritually but literally--for food. There are so many people in Ethiopia who just don't have the ability to earn an income because of so few opportunities compared to what we have in the United States. In fact, as I spoke with some of the people in Ethiopia, I realized that it's a shame how people in the United States complain so much about their circumstances and situations without knowing that there are people in a country around the world who have so much less but still can smile and are so willing to share what little food that they have not knowing how they will get the money to pay for their next meal to feed their family. Even though things may seem bleak, our God is able!
