In
spite of my late night I awoke early feeling surprisingly refreshed and maybe slightly
stiff. I tried to Skype home for
scripture study but no one was on the computer. I met Ashaber in the lobby and
we waited for Teddy and Getu to come from Addis to pick us up.
While
I was waiting I called Georgia to cancel our meeting for the day due to the
accident. She called back later and
offered to help any way that she could.
I thanked her and just asked her to pray for me. She said that they already had and would
continue. I also called Ashaiere and
finally got a hold of him. I told him
that I would like to see him. He said
that he would be in church on Sunday. I
was excited to have been able to talk to him.
The car was headed away, spun around off the road then rolled on its top. |
Geta, the guy that rented us the car, helped us
work with the police and they gave my license back. He did not have
comprehensive insurance on the car. Biya had worked out the rental of the
car over the Easter weekend so I had not gone through our typical procedure of
assuring that there was insurance. (I had planned on using Abera’s pickup but
it was in the shop) When Mogess and I asked him about insurance today he
said that on small cars they usually don’t carry comprehensive.
I
was warmly greeted by the staff when we arrived back to Addis. It was somewhat touching and somewhat
embarrassing. We are a newly organized
group but we are coming together as a team.
Bug bites that I get every time that I am in Ethiopia. Not sure if they are bed bugs or fleas. I never see the bugs but the bites itch like crazy for a week. |
Yesterday
I had some bug bites around my waste, on my toe and on my hand. Today I have some on my upper thigh and
legs. They are incredibly annoying. I
took a hot bath to see if I couldn’t drown any bugs that might be on me. I think that I found a couple floating in the
water but they were so small it was hard to tell. I will try what I have in the past, spray my
clothing, bedding, suitcase and a few parts of my body with the lice and bed
bug spray to see if I can’t kill them all.
