Well, our best intentions to keep our communication up-to-date were fumbled by sparse electricity, unavailable transportation, and uncertain internet.

Climbing Mt. Guragi!

In addition to the Trego family in Addis, we recently enjoyed having my cousin Eric in Yetebon for three weeks. He assisted biology classes and observed his first surgeries at the hospital one kilometer away. Lamb roasts and market day trips were a bonus!

After a few Muslim holidays in the fall (whose meaning we never understood), we now have a short break for Christmas. We get a few days off and then work [...]

The last time I wrote we were on our way to our friend (and bride) Hasset’s wedding. Two things amazed us about the ceremony: extreme joy and the desire to praise God alone. In the video below, you will see Pastor John (pastor and soulful worship leader) dancing and singing with 1,200 others! This “wedding [...]
