To all our family and friends,

Wanda and I have been invited by MCC to be the Country Representatives in Ethiopia beginning June 2007. The term will be for 4-5 years. Wanda and I have 3 daughters, Amani and Abigail (both age 9 and in grade 3) and Sophia (age 7 and in grade 2) and the whole family is excited and looking forward to this new adventure. We are also feeling the blessing of God's Spirit on this decision to be servants overseas for this period of time.

Our Canadian "residential" address (mostly for the Canadian government, the Province of Ontario, plus various and sundry businesses we deal with) will be the following:

Doug & Wanda Roth Amstutz
c/o Deb Kindler
68 Redford Crescent
Stratford, ON N5A 1P1

Some of you may be interested in writing us a real letter, by snail mail (apologies to postal employees, but it will take 2 weeks to send to Ethiopia). So here is our overseas mailing address;

Doug & Wanda Roth Amstutz
MME (Mennonite Mission in Ethiopia; but abbreviation is sufficient)
P.O. Box 70367
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
East Africa

For the rest of you who wish to take advantage of the amazing modern technology that is email, we have 2 addresses (one more personal, the other more official) which are:

after June 7: wandadougamstutz@gmail.com

after July 5: mcc.eth@ethionet.et

We look forward to blogging on an irregular basis and also to hear from all of you.

Blessings,
Doug & Wanda Roth Amstutz
Amani, Abigail & Sophia
