Our Day Trip to Indianapolis Grace Ethiopian Church

Today, my mom, Piper and I traveled to Indy for a gathering of adoptive families and Ethiopian families to learn more about one of the more prevalent languages in Ethiopia, Amharic. We laughed as we attempted to pronounce the names and the many foreign sounds of the language. During a time of fellowship after the lesson, we were able to meet another FTIA family, as well as meet some other families and children. I feel lucky to have also had the chance to chat with another family whose journey to Ethiopia and back has very recently ended with a beautiful baby girl home in her parents' arms. What a wonderful group of people we have within our grasp to share experiences with, learn from and foster friendships with! Thank you Pastor Yosef for organizing this event!
After feeding our spirit with these amazing people, we traveled to Abyssinia, an Ethiopian restaurant, to feed our bellies with some delicious food! Can you tell that Piper loved it?
