February 9, 2002 Update

February 9, 2002

Finishing Up Old Testament Lessons It’s still raining. But the rain held off long enough for us to be able to teach 3 days this week. We are teaching the final Old Testament lessons right now. We are emphasizing  how God always saved those who believed His Word. (see below for more highlights!) Despite the […]

February 2, 2002 Update

February 2, 2002

Snakes! The Simbari REALLY don’t like snakes. Their dislike far exceeds that of most westerners. We put “spiders and snakes” together when listing our dislikes, but to the Simbari spiders are nothing. They don’t mind picking up huge spiders with their bare hands and squishing them. BUT…snakes are another matter. Even a night crawler worm, […]

Teaching Again We postponed the teaching over the holidays but started up again last Monday. David has enough translation ready now for upcoming lessons and most of the people are back in the village now.

December 22, 2001 – 14 Years

December 22, 2001 – 14 Years

December 22, 2001

14 Years! Yesterday we celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. Our co-worker Lori Morley watched all the kids so we could have a quiet dinner for two. We had salads, steak and baked potatoes with sparkling apple cider. Then we all got together for some blueberry cheesecake. We had a great time reminiscing about all the joys we […]

December 8, 2001 – Nuts

December 8, 2001 – Nuts

December 8, 2001

Nuts Because of a poor showing on Monday morning we put off teaching for this week. Some more would have showed if we waited long enough but it is not fair to the ones who came on time to make them wait. One reason for the poor showing is nuts. The pandanus trees up in […]

November 11, 2001 Understanding The OT

November 11, 2001

Ups And Downs Monday started out a little rough. It was a cold and cloudy morning and when we got to the teaching area it looked like only 2 or 3 people were going to show. So we waited a while and people started straggling in little by little. We ended up with about 25 […]

October 2001 Teaching Day Set

October 2001 Teaching Day Set

October 17, 2001

Community Trouble Settled The trouble that caused us to postpone teaching was settled today. The whole issue had escalated way out of proportion but, thankfully, an agreement was reached today that was more than we could have hoped for. The whole issue just seemed to build the peoples respect for us and afterward the people […]

October 2001 Prep For Teaching

October 2001 Prep For Teaching

October 13, 2001

Literacy Materials Complete The preparation of literacy teaching materials took longer than we had anticipated but we finally got it off to the printers. However, we found that they were very short-handed and that we would have to wait in line (possibly for months) before they could get to our job. So David had to […]

Waiting for Ogg Baby #4

As you know we are home now for Ogg baby #4 and his or her expected arrival is Jan. 20th. This time home has been a good opportunity to be able to catch up on some much needed dental work for the whole family. Including some orthodontic work for Simon. Esther also got her eyes […]
