I do believe this is the last Fripp post for me. We had a wonderful time. We walked the beach, played with the kids, swam in the ocean and pools and simply reconnected with our Creator and one another.
I have been gone for 3 weeks now (two weeks in Ethiopia and one week vacation) and [...]

Emebet recieves a gift from Miss Mary Jacobs.
Hannah also receives a gift from Mary.
Over the last three mission trips, our mission teams have formed very close relationships with people from Ethiopia. Last trip (Dec 2008), Hannah asked Jesus to be her Savior. This was an answer to prayer…specifically the fervent prayer of Mary Jacobs.
Thanks Mary [...]
