Dear dad,
Right now I think it is 10? In NS. I just looked at your other e-mail from yesterday. We did celebrate mom’s birthday at the guest home and on Saturday we went out for supper at a pizza place down the street call Metro. We got her a cake at the guesthouse and we had a coffee ceremony, it was good and most of us put on traditional Ethiopian clothes. I have pics of that but they are not sending on e-mail even if I compress them. Doug (one of the missionaries here) says pics send well on MSN so I will give that a try. I’ll send them to Seppo since he has a MSN account.
Well today we went to see Maija-Sitota, she fell asleep in our arms again, we must be boring. Only joking I think it was because mom was singing to her. At first she was making strange but then she just looked around with question in her eyes, ‘who are these people, I think I seen them before,’ then she just fell asleep like I said. Also today mom and I went to the super market down the street all by ourselves this time. We got some chocolate, pasta, some Ethiopian Spice (not sure how to spell it), some orange juice, more chocolate and veggies. On the way back mom and I went for a little adventure walking through part of the town. Once we got back mom discovered she had a sun burn!! Now she thinks she has melanoma.
Anyway keep in touch,
Love Erik & Satu

Hi Erik, Right now it is 8:30 p.m. on Monday the 5th. So I see from your notes that it is Tuesday already. Neat eh? I missed you today at your lesson. It's not the same. But Shirlee my neighbour next door is taking your spot while you are away. I hope she likes it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you two are fitting into Addis just fine. It's funny how it didn't take you guys long to find the chocolate. Is it good? Tell your Mom to keep covered up and to take her sunscreen whereever she goes. You be her Mom and nag her. Okay.....
Well I must settle in for the evening. Great to catch up with you all. Love you. OXOXOX Aunt Laura.
