Translation… and a wedding. Where have you heard that before?
No, we’re not translating John chapter 2 with the story about the miracle at the wedding in Cana of Galilee. We’re talking about what’s been going on in our lives lately…
WEDDING…
We just got back from a quick trip to the USA for our daughter Bethy’s wedding. Everything came together nicely and the wedding was a fun time for everyone. Bethy and Ricky said it was “perfect.” We’re so grateful for the friends and family and Bethy’s coworkers at Habitat who all pitched in to make it a special day. We enjoyed spending some time with Elisa, Chris and our grandson Max, too.
TRANSLATION…
In recent weeks, Bill was able to complete the first drafts of some really important books: Romans, Galatians and 1 John. We really want to get these books into the hands of the Palawano Christians. Can you imagine not having the book of Romans? …or Galatians or 1 John?! So much vital truth there.
Then, just before flying to California, his Palawano translation helpers came to town and they were able to go over those three drafts and to do some work on 1-2 Timothy. Bill never expected to get all that done in the time they had together, but we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to progress through the material. They were also able to completely finish all the final details remaining from the consultant check of the gospel of Luke! So we can print some preliminary copies of that soon! We’re excited about that.
Now Bill is pushing ahead with drafting some new books, and Donna is getting ready to do the steps of recording and checking all that previous material.
SO PLEASE PRAY WITH US…
- as we continue with the translation work
- for our health and stamina day by day
- for Bethy and Ricky in their new married life
- for God’s continued provision for this ministry
Reaching Palawanos together with you,
-Bill and Donna
