Traditional Ethiopian food, dinner at a friend's house, a bunch of us at church, and my friend Yonas, right before we left.

Friends in Debre Zeit




These are the kids from our church group in Debre Zeit. We all went to the lake and had a great time. Above, are Tamrat, Fikado, and Tesfai, and left is Anduelem.
This is of our neighbor kids singing for the end of the Fasting season. The chorus is about blessing us, and for the verse, they make up their on the spot something about you. It is pretty neat, though it is not free; their version of trick or treat provides that you give them money for their song.



These are camels we saw on the way out to Bekkejjo. Also, a neighbor boy, and a kid that helped us in the village where we worked.


It rained like crazy in Ude, as yuo can see how high the water was. This other picture is of Ayelkephet, and his brother, on whose farm we installed the water pump.






These are also in Ude, it was beautiful there, and these boys taught me the alphabet and numbers in Oromipha


Here is the road behind our house in Debra Zeit. It was beautiful during the rainy season, where it had been dry and brown just weeks earlier

Back Again

I am back for Ethiopia, and am sad to be back in the US. There are so many great things out there, that the US just doesn't have. I am also back at Provo, aand it feels as if the world stood still completely while I was gone. I am hoping I can get this semester finished so I can get back to Ethiopia. I will later post some of the experiences I had while I was here- but for now, remember- I am back. And sorry for ignoring you if you have felt ignored.
