Aaron and a couple of the guys on the translation team met in Honiara for a few days. They experimented with the Starlink Mini, putting it together and taking it apart. We're grateful for the donor who bought the equipment so the team in the Russells can connect with Aaron more frequently and consistently. We are still learning the cross cultural dynamics, even after all these years, but I trust the Lord to continue to guide us through the bumps and to give us grace to share with each other.
The guys traveled together back to the Russells for a packed schedule. Aaron said he attended a wedding and got to interact with new people, he also organized several meetings with the team and with the translation committe, in addition to holding a program in Marulaon. The most astounding part of his trip to our house is that we could talk on the phone, thanks to the Starlink. Granted, we feel like we are using the radio again! We keep our sentences short and say "over" when we're finished talking. We anticipate the connection coming and going frequently, and sometimes the call drops completely.
But what a treat to be able to stay connected, to send texts, to hear each other's voices while Aaron is in Marulaon!
