A day in Addis

Our Sunday was wonderful.  We started with worship at Beza International Church.  The service is in English.  It was an amazing service and the message was great in contrasting the hearts of King David and King Saul and the call to true worship.  The tie in to the New Testament was about the alabaster jar of perfume being poured out on Jesus feet.  We need to break our flesh (the precious outside that God has created) to get to the even more precious inside (His spirit dwelling in us to be poured out in worship to Him).  And beware of the spirit of Mical.  (Had to put that in here to recall it all someday...it was good!)  After great worship our driver and translator took us to Lucy restaurant and museum.  Had some great history lessons there and at Addis Ababa university.  We then went to the Hilton hotel to exchange currency and did a bit of shopping.  We expereienced some sweet street children in Addis and bought some coffee as well (for you cess and kie :).  This was a day full of just as many amazing sights, only city instead of our yesterday "countryside" experience.  Our translater "AB" was such a blessing and we learned so much from him about the culture and just had a very nice time together.  We just finished our delicious dinner here at the guest house and it is dark by 6:30, so it feels like bed time.  It's likely no surprise to those who know Tim that he had a great sleep last night, and I am still struggling waking up a few hours after i fall to sleep and not being able to go back.  Should be interesting how moving day goes the day after we arrive home :) .  Tomorrow is court and if all her paperwork is there and in order, she should be legally our daughter by tomorrow evening.  All Glory to God :)  Sure appreciate the prayers!  Blessings to all!
