We're enjoying Addis Ababa and working in the Mission Office.  We are attending a different branch every week while we are filling in here.  The first Sunday we were here we attended Meganagna Branch and got to meet Pres. Eyob and Mesi's new baby "Daisy".  She has the CUTEST curly hair!
They just got her passport to go be sealed as a family in the Accra Ghana Temple in June!

                                  These next two photos are from the Beklobet Branch last Sunday...

I played the keyboard in Primary and taught the kids the song

THE FAMILY IS OF GOD.  They gathered around

the keyboard and really sang from their hearts!

Primary kids who were there on Sunday

Yvette and Ines in Beklobet Branch

Ruth and Yeabsra stopped by our house to see us and invite us

to their school exposition.  They are darling sisters who

used to live in the neighborhood and loved visiting the Preators.

These are two things we don't see in the U.S.... a guy carrying 

his suitcase on his head and three teenage boys holding hands, all

walking down the road in front of our house the other morning.

These are our neighborhood rooster and chickens.  

They wander all over...

We have been driving down this road on the way to the office

watching them lay the cobblestone and today they were filling

in the sand between the stones that were placed the past couple

of days.... It's so interesting the way they pile it up and then sweep

it with push brooms into all the cracks around the stones.

Women were filling bags with the black sand from a huge pile

at one end and carrying it down the road to dump it at the other end.

This is blurry but a common scene I have wanted

to get a picture of.... a guy "dancing" his sheep down

the road!

Woo hoo!! Things we don't usually see in Ethiopia!
