Tigist during school today announced that her named should be spelled with an E because they are very Kohnjo (beautiful).

Soccer Fun
Our church organized a free soccer clinic for the next 8 weeks and kids 4-7 can come out for soccer drills and scrimmages. It was so much fun and I think Fikadu and Tigist enjoyed it. Fikadu definitely more so then Tigist, but we think Tigist’s main job for the morning was simply to be [...]

Mintin?
