I did get my phone. And it was not my first choice but I love it and am so thankful this one became my destiny :) I hopped on the bus with a load of downloaded Netflix and preceded to sleep and watch the next 12 hours. It is definitely the way to go. Damary had dinner waiting for me. Do I have the most amazing roomie or what??!!!I went around the next day greeting a few people, doing food shopping, and finally taking a rest. The weather is really hot. Nearly 100 degrees. It should start drying out with the Harmattan moving in and hopefully the mornings and evenings will be cooler. But, it hasn't come yet.On Thursday, I woke up and had a call from Yvonne asking me if I would take 2 Ethiopian visitors, who were at a conference in Tamale, to Buipe to see Mesfin and Dawit where they are out with their Fulani friends and learning language. I agreed. The visitors knew Mesfin and Dawit and come from their church.I went to sew for a bit in the morning and then I came home to pack another bag and pick up the visitors. One man's name was Yosie and the other was Seitotaw. The time in the car went fast for that hour and twenty minutes. They were busy telling me about themselves and asking me questions about myself. They were very encouraging. When we reached Buipe, Mesfin met us and then the Amharic flowed freely! I know it was wonderful for Mesfin and Dawit to have other people to speak their heart language to. I did not mind. I was glad they could all connect. These two men took videos and pictures of everything because they want to take it back to the church and show them and hopefully raise prayer awareness and funding for the work the familes are doing among the Fulani.One of the guys was single so there was a little tension about coming to Ethiopia and finding ministry there...getting married??? There were lots of laughs and eye rolls too. I did appreciate them and was so glad I could drive them. I know how encouraged I am when people from home show interest in the work that is going on here.We came back on Friday and I immediately dropped them off at the Tamale airport. They have a few days in Accra before they fly back to Ethiopia.Who knew I would be surrounded by Ethiopians this week? Who knew I would drive to Buipe? Who knew I would sweat so much this week too? Ok, maybe I knew that one.Auntie Ruby is back in the USA. Mom was able to get a refund on her ticket. God is sooo good! Do you think if you tried to imagine what a god should be like you would have come up with the God we serve? I don't think so. He is so beyond all that we could ever hope or imagine. He is so faithful and loving. I just can't believe I get to call him Father.Thanks God!Thanks all for praying! Gotta get back in the language mode again.
