God bless you I was touched to hear this story, I was born in Ethiopia and moved to US 10 years ago. I was in addis last summer, it was great. I currently went to college for public health and was looking for jobs down there. There was no success so I came back. My hope is I would be able to find a job with UN or some NGO and help out people who are in desparete need as well as share the Gospel. I just want to say thank you for sharing this story it really made me think and refocus on why I am doing what I am doing and reason for being on Earth. What's funny is I attended lecture on "missions" at my local church called Hope fellowship last night and today this article. Well, enough said, keep doing what you are doing and will pray for you.

Coffee and Conversation How amazing to meet Yeshui!!! I can picture you all running through the streets looking for some place open! hahaha! I walked out of the hotel when I left you and sis and saw all the bags from the young guys walking in so I yelled, "Hey, you headed to Africa?!"

I chuckled and said, "Wait till you meet Ashley and her sister in there, you'll learn some!"
