The day before we moved to Addis, Sat. May 10th, we had the FIRST General Women's Meeting Broadcast in Ethiopia in Amharic at our Debre Zeyit Branch!!  Eight Young Women and seven Relief Society sisters met to watch the broadcast and the Relief Society served lunch afterwards. (We have only two Primary girls over 8. They are sisters and one passed away a few weeks ago.) : /    Here is a photo of the group. That was the first meeting of its kind for our branch sisters!

That afternoon, Bob took me to lunch at Babagaya Resort on Lake Babagaya and we took our four Elders too for a "Good-bye" lunch.  It was fun!

We moved 1/2 of our things to Addis on Wed. 7th and drove up after Church on Sunday with the rest of our clothes and food.  We visited with the Preators, then bid them good-bye as they headed home to Wyoming.  It was Mother's Day.  I was sick and had to say good-bye to our branch friends and then to our mission friends.... A very hard day!! We bore our testimonies in Sacrament Meeting, I taught RS and did Primary music and we bought roses to give all the mothers even though they do not celebrate Mother's Day here.  We decided to do Adam's, Nathan's and Maybree's birthdays, since we are not sure where we'll be for Church at the end of the month and we know the Debre Zeyit youth best.

We spent four hours Sunday night, (until I started throwing up at midnight), getting moved into the Preator's house.  We're here!  We have been in the office for five days and it's going well.

Meti (new convert) with Maybree's 16th birthday treat.

Meti will also be turning 16 this year.

Eyob holding Nathan's 12th birthday treat.  He is

turning 12 and will become a deacon on May 25th!

Eyob is also 12.

This is Sammy, one of my keyboard students from the

high school, with Adam's birthday treat.  Adam

turns 15 this month!  Sammy asked me about the

pictures in the Primary room one day and I gave 

him a pamphlet about the Church. The next time

he came we talked for an hour and he was SO

excited to hear more.  He is reading the Book of

Mormon and attends Church every week!  The

missionaries are teaching him at Meti's house since

he is a neighbor of theirs. He is a GREAT young man!

Some of my CUTE Primary kids wanted a picture

with me after Church.  (Edelawit, in pink and white

took this of me with my camera ! Haha!)
