Today (which is Thursday) I finally got to meet up with my best friendfrom ethio, Dagi. It's Ethio's new year (it's 2001) and Dagi's familyhad my roomie and I over for lunch. I can't explain to you how theinside of me wept in joy when I saw her come out of her "house" togreet me. We hugged for the longest time... we just sat there withour arms around each other both thinking it was all a dream. As wesat down, we didn't say anything. We just stayed close... putting myhand on her shoulder or vice versa just to make sure it was real...that this reunion was finally non-fiction.I leave Saturday to go to North Ethio for the rest of the month andinto a little bit of October. Once I get back into the city, I willbegin to meet up with Dagi to read the Word together. We decided thatonce a week we will sit down over the Word and just hang outthroughout the week. PLEASE PR that Father will begin to mold her andshape her to be a daughter of Him. I cannot explain how deeply I careabout this girl... how good it was to put my arms around her and forher words to sink into me, "I have you back."Please pr for my family and close friends (which I guess if you'rereading this you are a part of these people). It has been hard toadjust from such wonderful love and community to the unknown... hardto balance people in the states and here... really hard. So if Idon't respond to you quickly, it's because I'm trying to live here...really be here... and bc the internet if just whack too, ha. I loveit here and I love people here, but I love it there and love peoplethere too... please be patient as it's a weird balance for me.I have a phone #, address and all that stuff. If you are interested ingiving me a call, it's 26 cents if you dwl skype and call me. Contacteither my parents, Kristen, Brooke, Tiff, Allison, Gonzo, orCourtney... if you know me, you are bound to know one of them.This is a picture of Dagi's family from last year when we had themover for dinner. They are wonderful people, feel free to come meet them.
