<\/a>Well I would like to ask you to pray for me(Andrea) as I\u2019m \u201ccramming\u201d for my final in the language.\u00a0 After all these years I\u2019m finally nearing the finish line of my official tribal language study.\u00a0 Of course I hope to continue to learning for as long as we live here, and am FAR from mastering it.\u00a0 But by God\u2019s grace I am able to communicate using mostly tribal language although a bit of the trade language creeps in at times.\u00a0 So last week and this coming week I have homework of sorts as I anticipate a language consultant coming in on Friday the 14th<\/sup> to evaluate my progress.\u00a0 2 of our co-workers will also be evaluated on their 3rd<\/sup>language level skills.\u00a0 If you think about it could you pray specifically for my oral evaluation and then the working through of my written language, the homework I\u2019ve been working through this week.\u00a0 I feel really nervous as I have to perform and do extemporaneous speaking with a local friend here while the consultant listens and \u201cscores\u201d my ability.\u00a0 Just pray that God will enable me to know what to say on the spot- something I\u2019m not even that good at in English. \u00a0\u00a0Thank you.<\/p>\n God has really been my provision this last few weeks leading up to this time.\u00a0 He has brought along a new friend in the last 3 weeks who has really helped me make some leaps and bounds here as I near the finish line.\u00a0 I\u2019m so thankful for God\u2019s enabling and the growth in my walk with Him through this stressful process.<\/p>\n Tim is doing well.\u00a0 This new helper I mentioned has also been able to do some really good checking\/correcting of particular words and phrases for Tim as he works to finalize some of the translation of the Old Testament, so that\u2019s been an added bonus!\u00a0\u00a0 He is always busy in the evenings and some weekends with projects around the house and trying to help our family have what we need when we need it.\u00a0 Pumping all our water by hand when it doesn\u2019t rain much, keeping the ants and lizards from taking over our appliances and electrical systems- they can get in the smallest holes and cause big problems, and just this weekend he built a loft bed to give us more space in the girls room for our growing schooling needs.\u00a0 Dina & Abby have a few more weeks of Kindergarten left. They are making fun progress.\u00a0 On Friday night we had a taco and ice cream movie party to celebrate them reaching some reading goals so that was fun.<\/p>\n So thanks again for each one of you prayers and for the ways you support us financially and spiritually.\u00a0 We do get a notice each month of your giving and want you to know we truly appreciate you.\u00a0 \u00a0You bless us tremendously and enable us to continue to serve here.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blessings.\u00a0 Hope you will be able to make some fun summer memories with friends and family,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Andrea,Tim, Dina & Abby<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome summer!\u00a0 I\u2019m sure this is on many of your minds.\u00a0 After reading posts on facebook all about school getting out, people heading to the beach, and cookouts it feels more like real summer to me.\u00a0 With our summer-like weather year round it\u2019s a challenge to remember the change of seasons in other parts of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":869,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-197","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-uncategorized","7":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/869"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/tim-ullum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/a><\/a>
