Working in India...

Through a whirlwind of events, the Lord opened up the opportunity for me to start teaching a number of people how to do the editing work that I have been doing. It was a real growing experience learning how to teach people who where much older than me and from another culture. I have now been able to work with the Chiru, Simte, Chakma, Paite, Manipuri, and Tenek.

The Footnote Marker Powwow!

Do you know on which side of a word the footnote marker is supposed to go? We thought we knew but after looking in a number of Bibles, consulting grammar books, and looking on-line, I have come to the conclusion that no one knows!

Brother Lal (Simte) and Pastor Peter (Chiru)

Consultant Seminar and Translator Training Workshop

I was asked to share at the Consultants Seminar the work that I am doing and the kinds of things that I am finding while doing the editing...
I was just a little nervous!

The Consultants, Linguists, two translators,
and our fabulous cook (Bethany)!

I was asked to take a session of the Translator Training Workshop to go over the rules for punctuation, capitalization, and basic text entry. Pray for these guys as they are just beginning their translation projects.

One Saturday we went for a ride down the Barak River

Me and Sunita

Dear Uncle Sana!

Happy Birthday Warren, Rowan, and Bethany!

We had to laugh when we thought of 5 year old Warren, in India, talking to his grandmother, in Venezuella, on his Birthday!

Happy 23rd Birthday Bethany!

The twins had a piñata for their birthday!

Visiting the Tea Gardens and Factory

Saying Goodbye :-(

Bethany and I had a wonderful time staying with Uncle Sana and Aunt Nancy. It was very hard to say goodbye. :-( We really appreciated their love and hospitality, they made us feel welcome and at home. They truly are like family!

Computer troubles :-(

Sorry we haven't put up any more pictures yet. My computer is in the shop but as soon as I get it back I will post an update!

We made it!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that we have made it home safe and sound! Thank you so much for your prayers. Right now we are just trying to get over jetlag. We had a marvelous trip and we are praising the Lord for all that He has been teaching us through it. We will post another update soon!
