The week in Ethiopia shooting the documentary has been challenging but good. Lack of internet has made it difficult to share all that has been going on. We have seen many difficult and dire circumstances. The last two nights have been the toughest. On the first night, we were out until 3 a.m. interviewing street children and needed police escorts for the slums we went into. Last night was just as difficult as we interviewed young prostitutes and heard about the hopelessness in which they find themselves. Some really sad stories.

At the same time, joy can emerge from the harshest of realities as in this photo taken on my last trip to Ethiopia.  The folks at Life in Abundance are doing great work.  Looking forward to being able to share all of the stories from this week as we move to edit the documentary over the next few months.  Stay tuned.  More when I return next week.
