Just a few photos from this week….

Our Seminary kids came on time EVERYDAY

for a week (actually EARLY) so we took them

to Farmi for burgers and fries on Friday.

Everyone ordered a "special burger" so I did

too…. I didn't know that meant a fried egg on

top…. : /

Here are my apple cinnamon dutch babies I fixed

this morning when our elders came to breakfast.

We also had LOTS of french toast and ham too.

(Which we never see here and it is VERYexpensive! 

Our Maple syrup here is $6 / bottle! )

They have YUMMY ice cream at our NEW Hotel Babogaya 

on the main drive 

It's in their Kaldi's Coffee downstairs.

One of TWO very nice new hotels in Debre Zeyit.

Kaldi's Coffee shop is the FIRST "chain" store we have

seen in Debre Zeyit!  They are in Addis and one in Kaliti too!

Wongelawit (3) sat on my lap at the keyboard during

most of  Sunday's Sacrament Meeting.  She took this picture

after getting my camera out of my purse! Oops!

I finally got a picture of one of the COLORFUL little birds

that fly around our front yard!

We have gotten no water from the city again now for 6 days

and the church has had no water for 3 days so Abraham took

us here by Genesis Farms to fill our jerry cans. We were the 

second ones in line….

…but within 5 minutes there were four more garis waiting in 

line!  We got there JUST in time!

Piles of goat heads for sale on the side of the road in Debre Zeyit.

They say they make GREAT soup!?

The same hills and fields that were GREEN the first time we

drove on the expressway (Sept. 15th) are now turning brown 

and the green fields are now "white already to harvest"! 

They call the little turn-outs in the road on the expressway

"LAY-BYs".  There were lots of broken down trucks and

busses on the road today on our way to Addis…

in Addis tonight.
