Feye's family

I first started working at Food for the Hungry in September of 2004. After only being on staff for a month, I had the privilege of hosting one of our international staff members in my small one bedroom apartment in East Phoenix. Feye Tola, of FH/Ethiopia, was in town for a child development conference and was in need of housing (as we were trying to save costs for the event).

And wow, what a blessing. It was a joy to introduce Feye to some unique elements of American culture. Our adventures included a Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game, a swimming pool adventure, a trip to Wal-Mart and food excursions at Pizza Hut, Starbucks In-and-Out. He loved some of it and was confused by most of it. It was great to hear stories about his family and friends in Ethiopia. I enjoyed sharing about my friends and family . . . . although none of my family lives in Phoenix. Feye found this to be strange as people in Ethiopia don't generally live apart

We had a great time together.

So, in March . . . . I finally had the chance to return the favor and visit Feye and his family in Ethiopia. It was a great time! He and his wife have three wonderful children and are pursuing the Lord in all they do!

Enjoy the pictures!
