We spent the full seven weeks out there this time (though truth be told, I could've done with the helicopter coming just a few days sooner).
During that seven weeks, we anticipated our house being finished and moving in. That didn't actually happen… The illness and death of my village papa slowed and at various points halted progress. Currently the progress is quick, but not quick enough to move in before our next trip June 16th.
Without our permanent solar power system installed, our ability to use our laptops and thus accomplish much work in language collection and learning was severely compromised.
I did meet with the translators weekly and we worked to finish the last check due before the printing of Matthew! As our progress was dependent on their work in their respective communities (and much quicker than said work), we also began reviewing and editing the rough draft of Acts.
Jacob began meeting regularly with the local literacy team. While much of their work was discussion on what needed to happen and how to go about that, they also translated 30 shellbooks (short picture books) for the preschool curriculum.
Right now, I'm in the process of uploading photos from our trip.
Next to post are Marissa's smash cake photos and one year mini photoshoot!
A few blog posts will be forthcoming as we turn our attention to getting ready for our next trip on June 16th!
