Announcing Ellilta "Ellie" Joy Kipfer

At 1:02 pm on August 10, Ellie joined our family. We've been a little busy since then and are just now updating our blog! She was 8 pounds and 21 inches. "Ellilta" is the Amharic/Ethiopian word for "shout of joy" and can be heard especially during worship, weddings, and a new birth. One of our partner organizations in Ethiopia is named "Ellilta-Women at Risk." So this name has a lot of meaning for us.
