Life has been busy, to say the least, but it’s about to get even more hectic. Today we wrapped up our nearly two-month long tribal simulation, and I have to say I’m a feeling a little depressed. I actually miss our language helper, Kinosi! We learned so much about the Dobu culture during our class, and I gained some keen insights into how I react in difficult situations and work with teammates to come to consensus. This class has been amazing, and I feel like I can take a breath…
…sort of. Lael’s due date for our second girl is tomorrow! Lael could go into labor at any moment, and I know life is about to get crazy again! Within a week, Rynn Crabtree will be brightening our lives and stealing our sleep! Please be praying for a smooth delivery and wisdom and strength in the weeks to come.
Our next class is another simulation called simple living. During this time we’ll have to cook every meal from scratch. Electricity will only work at certain times of the day (some days not at all) because of poor sunlight to charge our solar panels.Water will be restricted, and internet is limited to a few minutes a day. It’s going to be a trip! Then we’ll begin a class where we take all the cultural information we got from our Dobu simulation and develop Bible lessons that directly relate to their culture…talk about exciting!
In the midst of all these events, I’ve been working on a book that will be published in November. The book is called Tipping Our Kings: Finding the Truth in a World Full of Options, but more on that in the next blog. Please pray for balance and wisdom with family/ministry/training!
Love you all! We couldn’t be here without your support!
Jack (for Lael, Nora…and Rynn…soon)
