These are my top ten things I love about being home for a visit - in no particular order:
1. Flushing toilets and hot showers - I definitely took those for granted.
2. Wearing shorts & tank-tops
3. Eating meat
4. Speaking the same language as everyone else
5. Talking to my family & friends in person
6. Spending time with my family
7. Catching up with the families & children from Ethiopia who are now in the U.S.
8. Experiencing some of the "firsts" with Alemu, Israel & Elias
9. Rest
10. Talking to people and opening up their eyes to the needs in Ethiopia. On Sunday I am doing a presentation at my church about my time in Ethiopia - I'm nervous already and it's only Tuesday. Yikes!
About Me
- Emily
- I'm like most 23 year olds who just graduated from college...I don't know exactly what I want to do with my life. I went to Ethiopia for a couple days this summer on my way to Burundi and absolutely fell in love with the country and culture. My family is becoming more and more involved and invested in Ethiopia - my sister and brother-in-law adopted a baby boy and my parents adopted two older boys.

Enjoy your rest & all the little things that we take for granted! Thank you so much for the work you do in my daughter's birthcountry!
