Day 4: Rasa, Sidama Zone

If I felt like Jesus preaching the sermon on the mount at Gidiwo, here I felt like Jesus being welcomed into Jerusalem! Our hosts waited for us about a kilometer from the place I was supposed to preach, greeting us by strewing rose petals on the ground and presenting us with a bouquet, before leading us in dancing procession to our destination. Their love and warmth really touched our hearts.

Storm clouds threatened overhead as I preached, but just as it had happened in the days past, the rain fell only after we got back home. Today's rain's blew the Internet connection off, and I would be able to access it again only at Bolo Aiport in Addis Ababa as we were getting set to fly out.
