One Last Transportation Update

Sorry for the confusion I may have caused by using our colleagues' intials. It only hit me this weekend that their initials were the same as ours! Here's the fitting ending from J and A with God's perfect timing:

"It looks like everything is set for us to go on Monday. Praise the Lord! It's a fun story to hear how David finally got word to pick up our stuff at the ship, so we thought we would share it. Because Solomon Islanders are used to communicating without the help of technology, they are very good at passing messages. After our many unsuccessful attempts to contact David, Andy's office assistant Ilyn helped by calling the public phone at the clinic in the harbor north of our village. She told the person who answered the phone to find someone from our harbor. (Because people go to the clinic, there is usually someone there from our harbor.) When someone came to the phone, she told them it was urgent for them to pass a message to David. After the message went through several people, David finally got the message 10 minutes before the ship arrived and was able to go meet the ship to retrieve our supplies.

"We are looking forward to going to the village and seeing everyone again. We are planning on doing the consultant check for 2 Timothy, Ephesians, and 1 & 2 Thessalonians while we are in the village. We are so excited to see God bring these books to completion. We are also planning to hold a meeting with Kwaio to finalize spelling of names in the Bible. It has been hard to decide whether to use Kwaio spellings or whether to use English spellings since they are accustomed to seeing the English names in the English Bible. We are hoping that this meeting will give us feedback from many people and that we will be able to finalize the spellings."

Please continue to pray for all of the SITAG teams. We each serve in different kinds of roles and in different village or town situations, but we all covet your prayers.
