I Need Africa

For several months now I have been struggling with how to convey all that we experienced while in Ethiopia. This was not our first time traveling abroad or even to a country overwhelmed with poverty and injustice. Our hearts have yearned to share all that we saw, both in pain and in joy, but the words are hard to find...very hard to find... to paint you the wonderful picture of all that we experienced.

And it is not just the difficulty of finding the right words. We, I especially, can hardly let our minds begin to replay all that we journeyed through while in Ethiopia without being moved to tears that bring up even more overwhelming emotions.

So we are searching.... for the right words...how to correctly convey our emotional and amazing experience....and how to best advocate for these people that so quickly stole our hearts.

I don't know how we came across this video, but it brought tears to our eyes and we felt that this says so much of what we have been feeling in a much more beautiful way than we ever could.

The video is created by an organization called Mocha Club. I encourage you check out their
website.
