Scott rode the early bus each day to the conference which meant he was there to mix it up with Matt, Justin, and Josh. These were great opportunities to laugh and joke around while setting up the recording and video equipment for the day's conference.
While Scott needed the time during the shorter breaks to retreat to the "green room" and regroup for the next session, during the lunch break and after the last session of the day he would hang around and mix it up with the participants of the conference. I often found Mihret, one of his three translators, and Dr. Masimba (or "Mr. Boston" as Scott referred to him) interacting with Scott as well as small groups of men flocking around him to ask follow up questions and thank him for the day's teaching.
Bach at the hotel he enjoyed chatting with Mr. Mulatu, the owner of the hotel and a kind, Christian man.
One of the highlights of these "out-from-behind-the-pulpit" times came during one of our early morning set-up sessions with Matt, Justin, and Josh. Matt, who really enjoys his coffee, brought a coffee grinder and air press that caught Scott's attention one morning. Scott was so taken by it that he enthusiastically endorsed Matt's ingenuity to provide "home-brewed" coffee on the road. I can think of no better way to end this short blog post than to let Scott share with you his endorsements of Matt's coffee.
Thanks, Scott, for these memorable moments during the conference.
