This month has been the hardest so far (read my previous blogs). However, there is always beauty to be found in God’s creation. So when words fail, photos to the rescue:

Hauling teff, a Ethiopian grain that they make injera with

Typical causes for slower traffic

Hippo watching on (hint: they are the big bumps)

Fishing on Lake Awassa

That’s a lot of color for one little bird

Going to plow 

Traditional Ethiopian food, the rolls are injera

What else do you use to eat with, besides your hands?

Traditional dancing

Just hanging out

Why are we slowing down? Oh, please don’t hit one!

A typical traffic jam

Donkeys are everywhere, hitch them to a cart and voila, you have a “pickup”


Tomorrow we leave for Rwanda and month 10. Yup you read that right!
