"Don't worry, start living!".

Another family arrived today to meet their 2 new girls (the 3 and 5 year old that we drove back with from Woleita). But before we took them to the transition house we first took them on to a tour of the Fistula Hospital with us. It was very sad to see the pain and suffering that the women have had to experience. Most of them have spent hours and hours walking in pain to the hospital just to get treatment. But they are all getting very good care and most of them get 100% cured and it's completely free to them since all of their surgeries have been covered by Oprah and other donors.

When we got to the transition house, while the family was getting to know their 2 girls, Christy and I played with babies. The older kids were all taking naps, so with a semi-quieter house we got to know some of the little ones that we hadn't really seen yet. And for dinner we went out with the 3 new happy families that we've met this trip and had pizza with them. Pizza seems to be the consistent meal that everyone can enjoy... because it's not injera :-)

And to everyone's surprise my mom officially got her Ethiopian drivers licence! It took a couple days to make it official but she did it!

Ethiopian driving is much crazier then how Americans drive... but she will do just fine. Soon she'll be dodging donkeys and goats as good as the rest of them!
