Yesterday afternoon, Ezekiel paddled over and visited for a while. Watching two of my favorite guys sit on the porch, eat banana bread, drink coffee, and chat about the translation project and life in general made me very happy!
This morning, Aaron led some of the catechists from surrounding villages through the first chapter of Matthew. Having grown up spending 8-10 hours a week at church, I am spoiled to familiarity with my Bible. These faithful catechists are at the forefront of Scripture use, leading morning and evening prayer day after day after day, navigating disputes in the village, and coming alongside their neighbors in times of need.
If Aaron can pour into them and help them to understand God’s Word in their own language, then they will be better equipped to share it. My job this morning was to provide a big bowl of popcorn!
Mason, the translation committee secretary, dropped by this afternoon, and Belza, the translation committee chairman popped in last night to make sure all of the loose ends for this week’s translation team workshop were tied up. Life here is never boring or predictable.
