Early 2014 we had gone back to our village. We continued our language studies and made quite some improvements. It was great to reconnect with friends there and to be able to deepen our relationships with many of the people there.
We also learned a ton of new things about what they believe and how it affects their daily lives. We are amazed at how much Satan has deceived them. And we realized that presenting the truth from the Bible will be quite a challenge.
Some other challenges that we faced during the year 2014 was that some of our equipment broke down. Our solar controller gave up, and our generator caught on fire. Our efforts to dig a well and install some running water also came to an abrupt halt. We already have quite the simple life and these setbacks can be discouraging. Nevertheless, we realized that we are not there to make life easier on us, but to bring God’s message to the people there. So our main effort is still making progress, as we keep chipping away at the Glarro language.
