It's 6 in the morning and I am up because Aaron and Dad called from Addis a little while ago! I figured I would blog and post that to facebook since there is so much information! Communication has been really good so far, I hear from them pretty often either by phone or email which is wonderful!!!! Here are some of Aaron's thoughts from the plane:
'The flight went well, I watched 2 movies, fast 5 and pirates of the caribbean. Food was ok, had a salad, bread and cheese, and chicken with green beans. They gave us a snack and it was gross. Had a banana and OJ with it too. Ok, there is your food update.'
When they got into Addis everything went smoothly, and they got to the guest house with no problems. Aaron was able to sleep since he did not sleep much on the trip, dad on the other hand had a little more trouble sleeping when they got in. Today (Sunday) is almost over for them as they are 9 hours ahead of us. They ate breakfast at the guest house this morning and met some great people. A woman named Jen (who is adopting a little girl) has been helping them out and a woman named Harage is the receptionist at the guest house and has been a wonderful help as well. Aaron is thankful to have great support and people showing them the ropes. Here are some more of Aaron's words:
'So we went to lunch with Jen and Harage. We ate some Ethiopian food. The bread has the texture of skin, but it is really good. And yes, I took pics of the food. The foster home is nice but seems a little crowded. The ladies that work there are angels. They really love the kids. The kids as you can see in the pictures are so loving. They came up and played with us right away. We will probably go to bed early tonight. We are going to the museum to see Lucy (oldest skeleton ever found).'
Tomorrow they will get up early for breakfast and get on the road to Batu to go meet Sophie at the Orphanage and then bring her back to the foster home. harage will be going with to help them out! I am praising God for placing the right people in their path to help them along on this adventure!!! What a blessing!
