Mustafa (left) and Bekele share a laugh while Andrew Kercher stretches out after dinner at Haile's last Thursday on our last night in Awassa. Mustafa was our bus driver for the trip south and maneuvered the bus through traffic, livestock and pedestrians without a hitch. We only got stopped by the police once, and that was for driving an overweight vehicle around a traffic roundabout. Bekele served as our translator and cultural liaison. He and Pastor Myron spent many hours together on shopping trips during three days of work in Awassa, which for two men who hate shopping was way outside their comfort zone.
Very Awesome! We are very thankful that you guys had good help and a good experience! Way to step out of your comfort zones!
