Saturday afternoon we spent time with some of the boys from Kolfe orphanage. Our hearts were so full playing games with the boys and watching them recite memorized scripture. We also gave a short dental presentation*, which we think (hope) was received well! We are excited that we will be spending the day tomorrow with the boys again as we take a trip to the Portuguese Bridge!
Today, being Sunday, was our day of rest. We slept in and attended church with the Vander Wal’s. The service was in English (thank goodness) and it was a really unique opportunity to worship our Lord and partake in communion with brothers and sisters from all over the world.
This afternoon we played a game of soccer with some of the missionary kids that live on the compound; little did we know we would get into a battle with the field. It didn’t turn out so great for us: Soccer field 1, Coryn and Megan 0. We contemplated posting pictures of our battle scars, but we’ll spare you the gore. Other than that the day was very relaxing. It was a wonderful SONday :)
We will be staying in Addis this week visiting some different ministries before flying to Lalibela next weekend to celebrate Timket. We are absolutely loving our time here and ask that you continue to pray for God’s blessing and that we could be a small part of His work here in Ethiopia.
*Special Thanks to Drs. Borrowdale, Kessel & Bouwens, and Zuidema & Hess for the donation of MANY toothbrushes and toothpastes :)
