We started 2014 with a very special visit with our Ethiopian friends and team mates. Getachew (L) and Kelemwa, Wongel (Gospel) and Kalkidan (R- Covenant) hosted us. Young Getachew (2nd from L) and Abebe (2nd from R) were also there with their beautiful wives.
Food's nearly ready - time to wash hands
What a feast - wish you could taste it! You use the injeera (light savoury pancake made from tef flour) as your spoon and scoop up either some delicious Doro Wat, sakuma, shiro wat, or salad.
Tibarek holds Bethanie and Abebech is next to Deborah. Both of these are amazing women who continue to smile and allow God to redeem their heartaches.

A few more days of the school holidays are left and Caleb gets his 'kitchen science' set out - strange things subsequently appeared in the freezer!
Ballet anyone?
Strictly Come Dancing eat your heart out
Exploring Karura Forest
Enjoying all the green
I love the combo of the green with the orange earth
Lunch at Spinners Web craft cooperative
Robin, Eileen and Justin have a trip out to Resurrection Gardens
And find a new place for a coffee - with SOFAS in the garden - nice!
We host a team party to say a fond farewell to Hiakie and Rangteigong (aka 'Uncle and Aunty')
Our team is very good at potlucks - yum!
Dau and Alfred - some kind of cool Kenyan/Sudanese sign going on there...
I think this was meant to be a funny poses photo - or it just turned out that way!
Reviewing the years with Hiakie and Rangtei, from their evacuation from Yabus in 2011, to the Doro evacuation a couple of months later, to rebuilding the school and building relationships. Thankfully they escaped making their evacuation trio by coming out in the regular fashion 5 days previous.
George (Acting Director) thanks them and prays for them
Meanwhile the kids have made a nice story corner. PJ looks ready for bed as Caleb and Rosemary read together.
Monkey sighting off our balcony - can you see them?
Is that better? Black-faced vervets are regular passers by but luckily they can't reach our building from the trees - or I'm not sure we'd think them so sweet!
