Last week, when Aaron walked to Fly Harbour School for the workday, he cut the tip of his finger with his bush knife. One of the married-in men knew exactly what to do – he found a specific root, heated it over a fire, and blew the juice on Aaron’s fingertip to seal it. God’s creation never ceases to amaze me. Aaron had planned to go back to that end of the island yesterday, but I was still feeling rotten and recuperated in bed all day, so he stayed home. But today, Aaron paddled around to Baisen Village to find Gesu and give him some training on asking comprehension questions. With Gesu’s background as a teacher, he’s a great fit for this aspect of translation work! We’re excited at the team God is bringing together to help the Lavuakleve translation move forward.
