Burundi 3

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Got back to sunny Lausanne just about noon on Wednesday after a good end to a good trip. We had a 27 hour layover in Addis Abeba (prize if you know which country that city is the capital of) and got to do something touristy. When my colleague from Geneva, Doyle, is on a mission, he’s on a mission! So we both enjoyed the break after 10 days of:

  • Listening;
  • Teaching;
  • Preaching;
  • Observing;
  • Praying;
  • Taking pictures;
  • Opening wallet;
  • Singing;
  • Laughing;
  • Eating;
  • Sighing;
  • Waiting.

Like I said, a good trip. We learned a bit. Gave encouragement. Got some too.

BTW, be nice to that guy the row over who’s having to use those airsick bags, even on the smooth flight. It might be you one day… I know…

More pics and a couple stories coming later. Thanks for your prayers…
