A week ago Saturday we attended an Ethiopian Festival on our way back from President and Sister Satterfield's. Sister Peterson is working with Abby Makonnen who is wearing the white dress, and I am working with her husband, David. David is a Quality Assurance Engineer who for the last four years has been working at a warehouse. Several Fridays ago he showed up for work and his key card would not work. Welcome to the new pink slip! I met him several hours later when he came to the Employment Center to start the job search process all over again. The Ethiopian Community built a church several years ago, but with the downturn in the economy and many of them losing their jobs, they are having trouble paying the mortgage, so they hold fund raisers like this to help out. The next day they were holding a talent show, but the proceeds were ear-marked for Ethiopia to help the people there. David and I had a nice gospel discussion...he is an orthodox Christian.
These Ethiopian ladies are carding wool the old fashioned way. Notice neither of them are wearing glasses!
