Last week in Addis!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post again. The internet connection plus my need to always be around people is working against me on this one. I really don't even know where to start.

The film track is SUPER busy this week. They finished filming the short films and are in the editing process right now. High stress, yes. But everyone seems to be handling it well. The reason they made the short films is because Friday we are having a Film Festival and are showing all of the films. They aren't Christian films but they are supposed to make you think deeper and the questions that go along with the films are hopefully going to lead into Gospel centered conversations. We are inviting everyone we meet so hopefully we will have a good turnout! They have been working so hard and I can't wait to see what the films are going to be like!

The campus track is currently in a time of transferring our disciples to other people involved in the GCM since we leave in a few days. This is not an easy task with the language barrier. I have been with Emilee Talley for the past few weeks and we went out for the first week and shared the Gospel with people. 2 people that accepted Christ have been faithful in meeting up with us for discipleship. That may not seem like a lot, but we are SO happy that they want to learn so much! We just met with both of them for the last time yesterday and it was really hard to say goodbye. One of the guys said to Talley, "Thank you so much for everything. I'll see you in Heaven!" She bawled. I'm glad I wasn't around to hear that because I would have lost it completely. Today is our last official day to go out to the Discipleship House and either go share the Gospel around the city or meet with our disciples. This day is probably going to be really rough on all of us. Prayers would be appreciated!

Prayer Requests:
- The film track
1. Patience during the rest of the editing process
2. Confidence that the film festival will be successful
3. Trust that the Lord has His hand in all of this and it doesn't matter how amazing the short films are (even though I am positive that they are awesome) because God is going to use them no matter what.

- The campus track
1. That no disciples slip through the cracks. Everyone needs to be plugged in to a church and GCM
2. Goodbyes today are going to be hard. Pray that we can remember that this is a happy time because we have finished what God intended for us to do here and we have made disciples for His kingdom. :)

- The film festival
1. That the Lord will surprise us with how many people show up.
2. That we can have fruitful conversations with the Ethiopians that see the films!
3. That we all remember that none of this is because of us but also that the Lord will use us in big ways tomorrow!

Thanks for all of your prayers and support! Love you all!
