My husband, Ryan, and I will leave in 30 days for a mission’s trip to Uganda and Ethiopia. It is exciting to even type those words!

I first spent time in Ethiopia in 2009, and my life was forever altered by that experience.

Over the next 30 days I hope to share some of the beauty of Ethiopia with you.

A glimpse into why I fell in love with a culture half-way around the world.

This is the view from the roof of Yebsabi Guest House in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.

Color. Color. And more color.

As far as the eye can see.
