\u201cSusie, you\u2019ve disappeared and we haven\u2019t heard from you in forever!\u201d
\n\u201cI know, I know.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s just hard to think of exciting things to say.\u00a0 But I\u2019ll try today.\u00a0 Actually, I\u2019ll let others try since my brain isn\u2019t being very creative today.\u201d
\nMy mom: Susie has been keeping busy, and keeping me busy, too!\u00a0 We\u2019ve been working on different projects, including her dictionary.\u00a0 I never knew we\u2019d be writing a dictionary!\u00a0 I also got to chauffeur her in one of the snowstorms as she talked to some middle schoolers about Africa.\u00a0 Now she is an adjunct professor, teaching a class on People Group Assessment at Ethnos360 Bible Institute.\u00a0 I love having her here!
\nMe: (Yes, my dictionary now is an English-French-Jula-My Language dictionary, and is available both on my computer and as an app!)
\nMy dad: Even though Susie is here, she still communicates around the world!\u00a0 She\u2019s been helping with translation for a little girl from West Africa who came to Ohio for surgery with the Shriners, has been focusing on people groups of a West African country and skyped with a missionary who used to work there for this class she\u2019s teaching, communicates regularly with her friends in Her Country, has had a phone meeting with someone doing People Group Assessment in West Africa, etc. The security situation in Her Country isn’t looking too good at the moment, though. . .
\nMe: (The security situation isn\u2019t looking so good there at the moment, but I only know of two attacks there last week and none so far this week!\u00a0 The European Union did classify it as a humanitarian crisis a few weeks ago, though.)
\nA friend in the city in My Country: We miss you, Susie, and hope you\u2019ll be back soon!\u00a0 Well, actually, with all the terrorist activity lately, maybe you should wait a bit until you come back.
\nMe: (I miss them, too, and enjoy whenever I can talk to them on the phone, though it\u2019s not the same as being there in person.\u00a0 For example, a friend of mine just got married, and I didn\u2019t get to dance at the wedding, have a new outfit made to match my other friends, or eat food at the reception!)
\nA French guy in My Country: It\u2019s 86 degrees here and people are complaining of the cold.
\nMe: (Yeah, that was the day it was -20 or whatever here, a couple of snowstorms again.\u00a0 And in case you\u2019re wondering why I was corresponding with a French guy in My Country, it\u2019s because I had him ship my kora, which is like an African harp, here to the US so I can play it here.\u00a0 Maybe one of these days I\u2019ll get good enough that some of you can hear me play it!)
\nA friend who had taken the PGA class I taught at the Bible Institute in 2016: I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re teaching PGA again!\u00a0 I\u2019ll keep praying for you in the unknown.
\nMe: (Thanks so much for your prayers!\u00a0 Please keep them coming, for me, for my teammate Jen, for My Country, leadership, and for the people that we\u2019ve been working with there.)
\nAnd that\u2019s for all of you reading this, too.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude0a\u00a0 Let me know how I can be praying for you as well.<\/p>\n
