Day 20 - LAST DAY!! :( :)

Today was my last full day in Gondar before I begin my long trip back to the US. :( :) I'm super happy and super sad all at the same time! But let's start at the beginning:

Today we had to go to a few farms to check the TB test results. We again had a university driver, so not too much walking today. ;) PPD checks are super easy, so all in all it was a very easy morning. Then, it was back to the Kino for lunch. I have to say that I'm missing some variety in my meal choices lol. All of us have been living on fish goulash, spaghetti with meat sauce, "pizza", or soup for the past week. Ethiopian food doesn't really appeal to us anymore (especially the injera/flat bread) lol, so I for one will be glad for some new meal choices in the very near future! 

Fish goulash with cooked vegetables and rice :) Probably my favorite thing to eat here lol

This afternoon, I relaxed/packed, and then Dan, Sharon, Elsbeth, Mulugeta, Sadam, Mustofa, and I all hung out on this neat rooftop patio of a hotel at Piazza. We then went to a sort of farewell dinner at the Goha Hotel. It was delicious non-Ethiopian food. :) Now, it's time to finish packing and making sure I'm all ready for a long trip back to the United States. That's all for now! Short and sweet. :)

Much love,
Joslyn :)

P.S. "O Lord, you have searched me and known me!

2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

19 Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
    O men of blood, depart from me!
20 They speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies take your name in vain.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting!

-Psalm 139

AMEN! I love this Psalm. :)

P.S.S. If you couldn't tell, I'm getting tired of writing lol. I feel like the posts get shorter and shorter :).
