Dubai


I am in the airport from Dubai getting ready to board for Ethiopia. Just a few more short hours until we will be settled… at least for a few days. It is crazy here. We went to see the Atlantis hotel and just so happened to see the WEEKLY firework show before the weekend! We drove down the palm island, saw a 7 star hotel, walked into the Arabic Sea…. Once thing I didn’t think about was that it is a Desert here! Wow is it hot. I don’t think you can go outside without sweating. Next up will be 70 degrees in Ethiopia who knew it would be cooler in Africa than Columbia. It will be interesting and hard to have such a contract in what we experienced the past 12 hours in Dubai where a room at a 7 star hotel is $11,000 a NIGHT. Now in a couple of hours I will be in an orphanage where children don’t even know their birthday. I am thrilled to be headed to Ethiopia. The team is great and it will be great getting to know and serve along with them. God has already blessed us during these few hours…. It is going to be an amazing trip.
