False alarm! Today we bring you only our new address and two views of Adwa.
First the address:
Daniel and Danielle Luttrull
P.O. Box 227
Adwa, Ethiopia
Today was the first day we checked the PO Box, and we had 2 letters postmarked from only October 22. Twelve days!
And now for the main feature.
This first shot is the view from our church, what we think (appropriately) is Adwa's most beautiful vantage point. (In the foreground is the Catholic mission's track and some classrooms for their students). You can imagine what these silhouettes look like at night, as we leave Saturday mass. Sorry it's not panoramic; the grand Soloda is hiding off to the left. But you can see her below, while boys play "football" at her feet:
This is the view from Danielle's primary school's front gate.
And so, if you're wondering if we like it here, if we're comfortable, or as the Ethiopians would say: "if the conditions are suitable," it's a hearty yes. How could we not love this place? We're in a constant state of gratitude and joy--as much as is humanly possible. We thought Peace Corps was summed up in self-sacrifice: but instead we feel like very blessed beneficiaries.
