Another good day! We met in the lobby this morning and once again, no internet. Walked over to the hotel next door for day 2 of the foster family seminars. Different families attended today. While yesterday’s discussions were good, I believe that today went much better. I think we stepped out of the way today and let God move, and He really spoke through us. Great discussions, and I pray that they were helpful to those involved, and that they will be helpful to others who may view the footage that was filmed.
After the seminar ended, we drove to the home of a family that attended yesterday’s seminar. The father invited us over for a traditional coffee ceremony. It was great being in the courtyard of his home, being a part of their culture and learning a bit more. The hospitality here is more than I could have imagined. The ceremony includes coffee, popcorn, roasted seeds, and roasted corn. We also had some time of sharing scripture, the father of the family showed us the many fruit trees and sugar cane in his yard, and we prayed together.
After the coffee ceremony, we went to dinner at The Safari Resort. On the way back to our hotel, Desalegn said he'd now taken us to all but one of the resort hotels in Adama.The internet was still down when we got back to the hotel at 9:30. So I borrowed Brad’s phone and made a quick 2-minute call to Zack, just to let him know I’m okay. As much as I knew we might not have good connectivity, it made the homesickness much harder when I couldn't check in.
