What we have to remember:
- This team is busy - they are going almost non-stop and I know from experience that after a few days with that schedule in Ethiopia, you have very little time or energy for writing.
- The internet seems to fight you every step of the way. If you're fortunate enough to get a connection, it can drop out randomly and sending pictures is a miracle!
- This team is busy!
It's hard to get used to the extreme poverty that exists everywhere - with few exceptions. The needs are monumental. That's what makes the work of Abdissa, Sammy and Ruth (YWAM Mercy Development) so amazing. They are providing a future, food to eat and Jesus Christ for some of the "least of these." These are giving people.
And then I get to meet people here who are making a difference for pregnant women - in a beautiful facility - and teaching them skills to make an income.

There are so many people who are making a difference in orphan's health and hope by adopting them or by providing formula for them.
It is hard to play with the kids in the orphanage and not to want the best for them.
Not everyone is trying to change the whole world but watching people doing what they're called to do, being stretched greatly but staying the course anyway - it is rewarding to see.
