Playing with Arsema...my favorite little girl

My evening English class...my favorite part of the day (from L to R...Mebrahtu, Tsinat, Kbrab, Fisha, Dahlak, me, Semere; front row Zinabu)

My Ethiopian sister Sarah

Practicing my English and Irish accents with my roommates Esther (center) and Sarah (right)

    So cool to see all these photos and think about how God had it all planned out for you to make these friends and share a part in their lives. You may not know the impact you’ve had on their lives, but I can tell from the smiles on their faces that they sure felt loved by you! Awesome!

    Oh Lyds, what a beautiful example the Lord has made you! I praise God for footsteps to follow in as I head to Cambodia! Keep trusting God in every step, He will bless you so much!
