Bittersweet
We have had so many experiences in Ethiopia that I just didn’t have the ability to relate to you all. I wish we would have been able to be more connected to our friends and family during the past 7 months and at the same time realize that we wouldn’t have had the experience we did if we were. I am beginning to reflect on things as we have our last macchiato, last look at piece of scenery, goodbyes to people we may not see again, and I know we will miss this place. Ethiopia is a place of immense beauty, striking contrasts, and is a desired place in the world among developing nations. We are leaving very dear friends here and will continue to support what they are doing once we are gone. I have worn my “I Love Ethiopia” T-shirt with pride and I don’t like slogan tee’s, but we are excited to come home and see you all! We will be there soon. Love the Baginskis.
Wow! Time flies. Can’t wait to see you guys.
Have a safe trip home.
What amazing experiences I had with you in Ethiopia! Arrived home Sunday after 27 hours of travel, happy to have been with you, sad to be leaving a place of such complexity and beauty. I will keep in my heart the people I met, the children and workers of Drawn from Water, the sharp contrasts from our lives back home. Bittersweet is the word. Missing you. See you soon! I love you.
Will cherish hearing your lessons learned. I’m sure our global community is better connected because you all are in it. Looking forward to your bright faces in person. Wow!
My heart is so connected to that Wonderful Place called Ethiopia. What a country, what a people. As I’m trying to do a water color of Bodo I miss everything and everyone I touched while I was there. May the Lords Peace and Grace be with you on your travels. Can’t wait to see you all again. So glad Ellen returned safely. Hugs and kisses
We can’t wait to hear your stories. Have a safe trip! See you soon!
