First Language Check!

September 14, 2014 by Noe and Lisa Martinez

Language learning
Well, we have been in PNG for nearly 2 months now, and in
just a couple days we will have our first language check!
There is a CLA
(Culture & Language Acquisition) consultant who happens to be in town this
week, and he has offered to do our language checks/evaluations.
So we will both sit down with him and some nationals for a
couple hours to be evaluated on what we’re learning of the culture and how we
are filing our data, as well as an extensive evaluation of our progress in
learning the national language, Tok Pisin.
Please pray that we will think clearly and do our best!
(We are also going to have someone give a language check to
our girls! They are old enough to learn quite a bit, and they’re doing pretty
well at grasping some basic vocabulary and practical expressions.)
The time is passing quickly- we are already halfway through
our time here in Madang. Can you believe that? J
When we know more details, we will let you know about our upcoming Bush
Orientation (and what that means).

We are praying a lot these days as we consider partnering
with two other families in a church planting work. JOIN US in praying for this
important decision! We will update you when we can.
We made Mexican tacos for some of the believers
who are visiting. A cultural experience for them! 🙂
Thank you for keeping up with us! It’s a joy and blessing to
have your support and partnership.
