Ned survived!

The training is completed for now. What a blessing to have such a great teacher, Jill Goring, come to train translators and translation consultants! Hopefully Ned can have a few days off now while the kids are on school break after 3 ½ weeks of six days a week meetings and training along with homework in the evenings. It was a challenge but we are so thankful for the chance to learn and make the translation better and better!

All of our kids are enjoying a spring break from school. Kara Linn was able to go on a Habitat for Humanity trip to Laredo with her school this past week. We were amazed how much a team of 14 girls and 2 guys was able to accomplish!

We wanted to tell you a story about Tigak culture. Our ground owner, Tongi, had a bone stuck in his throat recently. So, one of the men on the island asked him if he had “walked around the dog”. Tongi said “yes”. Ned did a little investigation to try to find out what that meant. It turns out that dogs never get bones stuck in their throat – so the Tigak believe that if you walk around a dog it will help you get the bone from being stuck in your throat. So now you know what to do if you ever have a bone stuck again!
