Ethiopia - Day 6, church & crater lake

Today Deacon experienced his very first church service! It was very cool that it got to be in Addis Ababa. We went to a small Ethiopian Church of Christ service. The singing was lively and the preaching was good. Everything was said/sung in both Amharic & English. This is a pic of Deacon with the preacher. We were welcomed very warmly and we could tell everyone enjoyed having us there.

It was also Mother's Day [Margo's first]. So we took some Mother's Day pics for Margo:










This evening we went to the restaurant Dream Land at Crater Lake. It is a lake created by a volcano explosion a long time ago. It was very beautiful:










There really is no need to explain this last picture:

Happy 1st Mother's Day Margo. He just gets cuter with every picture! I think the idea about future birthday gifts from Ethiopia is fantastic!

He is so precious! I just got to see the site today, and how wonderful! Happy Mother's Day. Even in the pictures you can see he has a great personality. Have a safe trip home.
