God is good. We arrived late last night along with all of our bags. Last night was crazy navigating the airport and customs. We got to sleep around 11pm. We were awakened with the Muslim calls to prayer at 4:45am. As the loud speakers throughout the city echoed with chants and prayers for 45 minutes, we prayed and thanked God for His mercy towards us. Thankfully, God put us back to sleep when the chants stopped. He was so kind to do so. We're struggling a bit with jet lag and altitude (Addis is at 8,300ft) but nothing serious. We went to church this morning. It was good to say to God corporately what we had been saying privately. The sermon was encouraging from Matthew 5 about the command to rejoice in persecution because we are blessed. The best news today is we are leaving in 15 minutes to meet our kids to see Big E at the orphanage and Little E at the hospital.
Tasting and seeing His goodness,
jb
