We finally made it to Ethiopia! No glitches. All the bags were in tact and the formula is SAFE! We are staying at the Addis View hotel which really doesn't have much of a view, but the room is clean and we even have a little balcony. After we got unpacked we went to a large market that reminded me of Mexico. We found a few things, but mostly we were just tired and overwhelmed by all the poverty and filth. The one highlight though is the beauty of the Ethiopian people. Tonight those of us that are here(Lusse, Redfern and VanWetten families) will go out with Rachel and Barret for dinner. I am looking forward to meeting them. Tomorrow we will go to church and....well I don't know yet! I thank everyone for their care for us and all the prayers you have sent up and all formula you sent! I am sure after what I saw today it will be a huge blessing!
