My New Boyfriend, Getinet : )
Thursday, February 9th, 2012 | Uncategorized
This is my new boyfriend Getinet : ) This is a recent photo of us in the gardens at The Sheraton Hotel in Addis. He’s a friend of my friend Carrie’s fiance. We met at the court house when they got legally married. We started talking at a coffee shop and didn’t stop for about 2 hours. Being with him is a wonderful surprise. I wasn’t expecting to date an Ethiopian guy, but Getinet is different and he says the same thing about me : )
Getinet runs a local ministry here called Strong Hearts Ethiopia, focusing on Community Health Evangelism in the community of Kore, a very poor neighborhood in Addis where many people live off of the local trash dump. We have many things in common. We both love Jesus, children, the poor, and we were both in Navigators in college. I’m still pinching myself that this is real as I’ve never been in a relationship quite like this one before. I’ve dated other guys but this is the first on that I actually could see sharing a life with.
Please pray for us as we get to know each other better.
