We Are Back in the U.S.A.

Below is the short on the rest of our week (follow-up to the last post). Additional posts will have pictures and expanded information.

- Thursday David started with a few hours of computer support at the Bethany office. Lunch saw us and the other family at Milkyas' house with his family and most of the Bethany staff. The afternoon consisted of us at Yezalelam Minch and a chance to observe a good-bye ceremony for the young lady and other Bethany family. There was shopping at Birtukan's shop, good-byes to the other family, and resting at the hotel.

- Friday started again with David continuing computer support at Bethany. After lunch we did several hours of shopping and then visited "Lucy" at the museum. We enjoyed a cultural dinner with several of our new Christian friends.

- Saturday was the last day in which it started with David performing computer support for Bethany. After lunch, we went to Bora (a children's amusement park) near the airport. Then back to the hotel to begin preparations for home.

- Sunday started with Demarie having been sick overnight. She spent most of the morning and afternoon resting in the hotel room. The rest of us went to the church Nesibu's family attends. We finished packing and rested at the hotel before heading to the airport to travel home.

We safely landed Monday morning, got through customs and immigration, and enjoyed the warm welcome of friends and family. Josiah has already enjoyed his first Chick-fil-A. Most of us were asleep before 6pm, and have started waking up this morning (Tuesday) after 3:30a.
