Love at First Sight

I had to just stop and share this sweet sweet photo of LT and Simone meeting.

I leave early in the morning and I just can't wait! Thank you to everyone for the support and J, T, and A - I just read your note - YES I got your girl's info from Heather. I will take pics and give love :)

I have a sense of the magnitude of these last moments before I leave for Africa and I just continue to be so impressed by this experience. I will love her, the country, the culture and all of the people and children - with honor.

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
