Wednesday, March 4


Yesterday, Aaron, Ezekiel, and a couple of the translation committee members from Marulaon undertook a whirlwind tour of all the villages outside of our church district. I was amazed that they did it in about eleven hours! One of their goals was to update each village about the progress of the Lavukal Bible translation. The other goal was to invite members of the Lavukal Bible translation committee to attend a stakeholders meeting for three days next week in Karumalun.


As I was cooking lunch today, Ezekiel swung by our house to meet with Aaron to work out some details for the meeting his village would be hosting. While the two guys held their business meeting for several hours underneath our house (the best place for shade and breeze), I took a tray down with bowls of cooking bananas and slippery cabbage that had been boiled in coconut cream with curry, alongside a plate of pineapple slices. When the bowls came back up, I discovered that Ezekiel had eaten out the cooking bananas and left the slippery cabbage. Now I know how to take better care of him next time!
