In Ethiopia and loving it!

(Posted for Nathan - sent 7/19/2010)

Hello friends, family, and support partners!

I am so excited to let you know that I am in Ethiopia and enjoying every minute of it! I have brief access to a computer, so I'll write what I can. The last time I updated I was on my way to meet the team in Tulsa. I am thrilled to tell you that the team is an amazing group of students who are full of fun, energy, and a passion to serve the Lord. I have been blessed to make such good friends so quickly. We left Tulsa and had about 24 hours of travel time until we arrived in Ethiopia, where we've spent the past few days meeting the national staff and adjusting to the African lifestyle!

I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update everyone during my time here, but here's what I'm thinking - I am going to keep a journal of what is going on here day by day and I'll post detailed descriptions when I'm back in the US. Until then I will post brief updates as I can!

I am so thankful for all of your love and prayers during the next few weeks. The Lord is at work and I'm so glad that I can share in it with you!

In Him and with love,

Nathan
