We’ve been back in the Andes mountain’s of Colombia now for almost three months after a year of Home Assignment in the States. My dear mother went to be with the Lord on April 3rd of this year at age 95 1/2. She was looking forward to it. Then we were able to be with our three children and all seven grandkids in July before returning to the field. What a joy to all be together as normally two of our kids are missionaries in Paraguay, one lives in the States and we are here in Colombia. So because all of us were on Home Assignment at the same time, God allowed us to enjoy some good family time.
For seven weeks we had three Guahibo men live with us to help with the translation of some Old Testament portions and the revision of their Guahibo New Testament. It was a challange to cook three meals a day, seven days a week for three extra adults but was worth it as the Lord allowed us to make progress. The men were good company and even did the dishes for me every day. What a treat.
On October 20th, the Indians left for the prairie to go home and Mark and I are back to just us until February when they come again to help us. Thank you for your prayers as we continue to plug away to revise their New Testament that the tribe has requested done.
