Ethiopian Dinner

Jachin & Josiah with their new friend, Jacob, who was adopted from Ethiopia a few months ago.  These three boys had a lot of fun playing together. If you know my boys, you know how active they are, but Jacob kept up with them really well. He was absolutely adorable! In fact, I think he was calling the shots. :)

 

These beautiful girls were also adopted a few months ago from Ethiopia.  Bethy and Anna absolutely

enjoyed the Ethiopian food.  They definitely both ate more than I did. 

We had a wonderful time interacting with other adoptive families.  We also were able to spend some time talking to the pastor of this Ethiopian church.  Next time we go, I would like to get a picture of him.  What an incredible story he has!!!  Someday I hope that he is able to share his story with our children. 

Now on to the food.....

I am not one for "interesting" foods.  I like to try new things, but I'm often somewhat wary of foods that I don't know.  I had a tough time in Russia, and ate a lot of protein bars.  However, I must say that after tasting the authentic Ethiopian food that this Ethiopian church prepared, I can't wait to have it again!  It was delicious!!!  I believe this church does this every so often.  If you are interested in going with us next time, please let me know.  I would love for you to experience a little "taste" of our children's birth culture with us.
