Today was a travel day. We left Uganda and traveled to Ethiopia. Whew! Not sure why that was so grueling, but it was. My throat and lungs were so full of smoke (from cooking fires), exhaust, and dirt from the dusty roads. I had to eat Tootsie Rolls from the candy bags we brought to keep my throat coated so I wouldn’t keep coughing (no cough drops around)!!!
Uganda and Ethiopia are dramatically different. Uganda is lush, green, tropical rain forest. Ethiopia is dry and dirty. The region we worked in Uganda was remote village life centered around dramatic Lake Victoria. In Ethiopia, we are working in the capital city, Addis Ababa, which is big, poor, dirty, and loud. Should be interesting.

About the Hortons
We are motivated by the priorities of Scripture. The Great Commandment says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." Matt. 22:37
May we desire Him above any of His gifts!
In Matt. 28:18-20, Jesus gives us the Great Commission: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." We are a blessed family. But we do not believe we have been blessed just for our own benefit. We have been blessed so that we may bless others. Psalm 67:1-2 says, "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations." It is our prayer that we will connect the blessings of God with the purposes of God - making Him known and bringing salvation to the nations.
