I am missing Birthdays! :(

Yesterday was my brother's birthday and I almost missed it!!  He had told me before I left that he wanted his own special blog on his birthday.  Last year when I was here I said happy birthday to him and my bff Angela in the same blog and he didn't appreciate sharing the spotlight with her!

The internet at home still isn't working, my phone hadn't been calling the States, so a group of us set out for the internet cafe yesterday so I could make Kevin's special blog.  And of course. . .it was closed!!  We went to three separate internet cafes and they all were closed because the network was down.  I was so upset that I was trying not to throw a tantrum in the street.

On a whim I decided to ride to Addis to pick J up from the airport.  Mussie and I were sitting there waiting and he asked me how I was doing on my patience (I previously told Mussie that if God accomplished anything in me in Ethiopia it would be my patience skills).  I told him that I was doing okay until today because I was missing Kevin's birthday.  We were sitting there and I just decided to try to call him and see if it would work.  I called Dad's home phone first and it actually went through but they didn't pick up!  So then I called Dad's cell phone and he answered!!!  It was so great to hear his voice and he told me that they were actually just about to sing Happy Birthday to Kevin so I got to sing along!!

Dad let me talk to Kevin next and in the middle of our convo my phone ran out of money so it hung up.  But I was so happy that I got to call and talk to them!  Isn't that just like God?  For two weeks my phone wouldn't call the States and when I was really sad because I was going to miss Kevin's birthday it actually called!!  Praise the Lord!

Kevin, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I am so glad that you got to hear my beautiful singing voice!  You are an amazing person and I can't wait until you get here.  Hurry up!  "You too!"  :)

And of course, this blog wouldn't be complete without wishing my beautiful best friend Angela a Happy Birthday!  I miss you so much!  I hope that your new job is going great for you.  I can't wait until we can Skype!  Love you bunches!!
