Ethiopia
Ethiopia PA Council
We just returned from Ethiopia. We trained the PA council there, two of them have been members of the Church for less than a year. We also met the couple missionaries (the Wilkes and the Himles) serving there. We visited the Alert Leper’s Hospital Craft store. The people who have recovered from Leprosy make things to sell there. They sit on the ground and spin yarn, weave cloth, crochet, embroidery, make mats and other craft items. It’s amazing to see them working, many without fingers. This time I asked about taking pictures and they said it was fine because I bought some of their crafts. I was able to get a few pictures before my camera’s battery died. I usually check it so carefully before we travel to make sure it is fully charged. I forgot this time.
