A missionary lady, Marsha, we befriended asked us to come with her to visit this group of women that are part of the women in crisis program. They are ex-prostitutes that have come to Christ and are changing their life-style. They are trying to learn new life skills and some of them are arts and crafts, sewing….Marsha goes there every Wednesday to help out. We are going there together next Wednesday. Erik is going to show how to do the hemp/beading and I’ll bring knitting needles, yarn and just ideas of what could be made easily here. We have to find out if hemp is easily found here. You have to always think what materials are readily available here. Marsha is planning to take us to a place where they weave the traditional Ethiopian fabric one of these days. That would be interesting. I’ll be talking with Marsha on Sunday at the church about finding a keyboard for Erik. She might know something since she is the piano player for the worship team in the International Church. God is so amazingly put different people on our path. He knows what we need and when….It’s a new morning. Today’s program is Erik’s school, Ahope orphanage visit in the afternoon and evening out in a cultural restaurant with Doug, Mesi and Joe (they are all flying early tomorrow morning to Mekele, way up north of Addis). We’ll miss them for sure. Today we are planning to make bead bracelets with the kids at the orphanage.
