So the internet ROCKS this morning...

it let me video chat, check my emails, post on the JCGSFF blog, AND upload pictures.  So I'm taking full advantage of it... enjoy! 

Kids in the compassion program eating their Saturday meal - a biscuit with rice


Yonas's house: one of the kids who is sponsored in the Burayu program.

Ethiopian Traditional Restaurant! We all just ate off the big plate in the middle.  As for  what we were eating... I didn't ask.

Worknish's house (the one in the orange).  Her husband died 5 years ago and  now she works to support her 5 kids by herself (the other 2 are in school). She's part of the Ambo program.

The classrooms in Burayu! 

Burayu Church! Under construction... probably will be for a while. It doesn't stop people from having their offices in the midst of construction though! 

Inside the church.  It's way bigger than I expected it to be.

We got to watch the Ethiopia FOOTBALL (soccer) game with the youth of the church on Sunday! It was my first game watching football with foreigners - WAY more fun than Americans. This guy wasn't with us, but apparently it was his first time watching a football game with a white girl... he wanted to document it.

The drive home from the game was INSANE. It's a 45 minute drive, but it took us an hour and a half because of all the mobs in the streets.  People would jump on top of cars, vans, and buses while they were moving and just ride around the streets.




We got stuck in a round about with a mob of people.  The only casualty was the left side mirror on the van.

Lesson learned: don't sit in the middle of the girls.
This is what happens when you add Crystal Light to Ambo Water (water with gas). EPIC fail.
