We made it to Ethiopia!! We have alot to share, but we will wait till we get back. Until then, we will give you the highlights of the day.
Our first - BEST - hightlight is that we got to meet "G". This was a surprise as we weren't scheduled to meet him until Sunday. He did better than our wildest imagination. He ran right to us and jumped into my arms and said Mamma. WOW! It was truly amazing. Here is a photo of our first meeting.
We spent a few hours there, and then came back to the hotel for lunch, After lunch, we rented a cab with the LeFebers, another AGCI family, and went to Entoto Mountain.
We've had a great first day! God is good!
