(our latest steps): An Ethiopian Experience

  20151102_110105
The Ethiopian children and their chaperone, Auntie Hilina, have been in the United States for just over two weeks,
and have enjoyed experiencing many “firsts”!
First dentist visit, first Colorado snow, first pizza, first Thanksgiving…
But before experiencing their,
we thought we would share some of their memories with Auntie Christine in Ethiopia,
while they were preparing to come and participate in His Little Feet.
Hope you enjoy this sneak peak into their lives in Addis Ababa!

And the best way to end their time in Ethiopia…
a traditional coffee ceremony!

The children are so excited for all the new adventures the Lord has in store for them this year on tour.
They will meet new faces, explore new places, advocate for children in need,
and learn so much about their Father in Heaven, who loves them very much!

Let more fun begin!
