Hello Hopwood Friends!
Well, we have been on the field for a year and a half and i am just now getting the chance to write. We have been doing well here in Addis Ababa. Our work with CMF has been busy as we try to keep things under control in our office and as we try to get others set up here in Ethiopia. The Hopwood family is growing too in East Africa as the Moores have arrived here in March.
So what do we do here in our lives. Well, Julie spend alot of time working the finances to make sure everything has the money it needs when it's needed. In addition to that she deals with the staff here in town and all the things the missionaries need. After all that she likes to read to relax when she can.
As for me, i get to keep all the things running that we have around the Addis compound. On top of that constant duty, we are trying to construct housing that will be taken way down country for a new family here. It's a huge challenge to carve out a new station from nothing, especially when it's officially in the middle of nowhere. It is a big learning experience for us all.
One huge blessing is the CD Ben brought to Africa with Hopwood services on it. We listen often to the familiar voices from East Tennessee and are reconnected with the body there. Thanks!!
Thank you again and again for your faithful support, it means so much to us while we work here in Ethiopia!
Scott and Julie
