Hello Hopwood!
    We are all doing well here in Ethiopia.  We have begun a 6-week language course in Amharic and will continue to study throughout this first year while in Addis Ababa.
    The kids are growing like weeds and for the most part, we are loving our life.
    We have made good friends here in Addis and enjoy being with them.  Each day we feel God’s calling to be here confirmed in our hearts.  On the weekends we usually listen to a CD of Hopwood services.  We love hearing your voices and the familiar sounds of the sanctuary and life there.  We praise God for each of you.

Hello Friends and Family,
The time has finally come! We've moved out of our apartment, our visas and passports have arrived and our bags are almost completely packed in preparation for our move to Ethiopia. We depart this Thursday, March 9th. We have been looking forward to this time for so long and we are thankful that we are finally on our way to Ethiopia! We want to thank each one of you for the part you have played in helping us reach this goal: for your thoughts your financial support, and mostly for your prayers. We ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as we begin our new life in Ethiopia.
