Our Last Day in Warancha...

Hi from Addis Ababa. We have returned from Warancha. Today was a good day though both Doug and Marie were sick the rest of us managed without them. We missed out fearless leader and Marie but we had a good morning with the kids and then spent an hour with the Pastor and the administrators handing out all the donations we have brought. They were thrilled with everything. Ana we gave out the scarves and hats and that was great. We gave the scarves to the kids and the Pastor's mother and gave the hats to the teachers who work so hard for so little. The remaining hats we left there for them to distribute. They were all super excited and loved them. I took lots of pictures to show you.

As for the rest of the day it was spent driving back here. That is an experience in itself as there are not only cars to watch out for but goats and cows as well. By the way they have the right of way! We then went out for an authentic Ethiopian dinner with dancing and singing and it was a great experience. We had the chance to witness a traditional Ethiopian wedding while we were there so that was neat.

This is it for tonight. It is already past 10:00 and I am beat. We plan to get up and instead of going to the Fistula Hospital (they can't have us tomorrow for some reason) we plan to visit a Leprosy hospital instead. I am disappointed we are not seeing the women but I am sure we will have a purpose wherever we go.

I hope you all have a great day and know that I love you all.
