Our Bible Study group
Great friends make grueling bus rides a little more tolerable (from L to R: Liz, Becca, Megan, Me, and Nicole)
I have been so blessed with great Peace Corps friends. I remember prior to leaving praying for at least 1 Christian friend….I was given almost a dozen instead. During training we met most Sunday mornings at "the Lodge" for Bible study. Who would have thought! Just prior to leaving for site we had our own pre-Christmas party/gift exchange knowing that the actual Christmas day would be quite a low-key and potentially lonely day (i.e. we will be at site; Ethiopians celebrate their Christmas another day). It is going to be so hard leaving this group behind when we begin our separate Ethiopian adventure, but I'm so thankful for their support, encouragement, and hugs on this part of the journey.
