I Met My Sons!

I have to tell you that I have met my sons and I am falling in love with them everyday that I am with them. I started teaching them English in this little room. Last Wedesday I finally got to meet some of the street kids for the first time. I invited them to the center, where I am teaching them English now. We sat down and I asked them what they knew about me. They said they knew I was hear to teach them english and that God sent me to them to help find them sponsors. It had me almost in tears to hear them say that. They are very excited to share with me one by one their lives.

I have to say I have learned alot in just the last couple of day being in Ethiopia. I have had some pretty shocking experinces. First I was walking to the youth center and the man came and spit on my face. I couldnt believe it. Then Friday the boys took me to the zoo and on our way back this man came up to me and touched my breast. Well, that was a bad idea becasue then the boys strated beating on this man. I have to say that I am protected by the boys. I was in such shocked that it happened. I was almost in tears. I am stared at all the time. Everywhere I go people are starting at me. Really at the time I thought maybe I am not safe but I remember how Jesus was publicly humiliated during his time of mission. The devil is working hard here to convince me that I should be scared and to not be here, so pray that the devil will flee from me so that I can fulfill my purpose.

I live in a guest house with a roommate. Her name is Egzeharia.She is so nice and has become a really good friend. The Guest House is really nice. I have great veiws of the city. I have been meeting the kids at a place called Youth for Christ, which is a ten min drive by taxi. Please pray for my because I hate taking the taxi's here and being by myself. I have gotten used to the food options which is ingera or pasta. I miss the food at home alot. I would love some mac and cheese, cheese fries, baked chicken with mashed poptatoes,a salad with ranch and even a bag of chips would be nice. Beside the food I just love it here. I cant believe that I am here.

Please keep me in your prayer...
