Abel is our guide from Bethany for this trip. He is a native Ethiopian and he was born just outside of Addis. He and his wife, Hannah, meet at Bethany and they both still work there. They recently had a baby girl Eliana ( 9 months old ) He is with us whenever we leave the gate of Morning Coffee. He is our translator and our traveling guide in Ethiopia. Abel is a very busy man constantly running around with adoptive families and he seems to always need to charge his phone. We are very blessed to have a great guide and someone who cares so much about what we are trying to do.
Abel went to the University of Ethiopia and majored in history. Before he worked for Bethany he would do tours about the history of Ethiopia. He has also written a book called, 'Ethiopian History for Dummies'. Abel did the history part of our cultural training.
Abel! He probably doesn't remember us, but tell him Amy and I say "hi." His first week was when we were in Ethiopia.
