For those of you reading this who have been to Ethiopia, you can probably relate with me that it's insanely hard to describe accurately what it's really like there. Since we've been home, when people ask me about Ethiopia I typically use 2 words to describe it, and those words are "amazing" and "heartbreaking". These are not words that typically go together, but in this case I believe they do. I am continually saying, "it's beyond anything you can fathom unless you've seen it."
I did stumble across this video though while blog stalking the other day and it grasps a little glipse of what I keep trying to describe to people, so I thought I'd share it. (The last few minutes are the best, so just hang in there, I know it's like 10 minutes, but it's worth it I promise.)

I remember saying on this blog before that Ethiopian people know how to love more than we in America can even imagine. I hope you could see that in this video, these people have so little, so they seek comfort and love in each other. It's so beautiful to see such raw love.
I love Ethiopia and it's people so very very much.
