Not much new to update except an increasing level of frustration at not being able to communicate well. I'm very thankful for my translator, Ivan who helps with the classes. However, there are many times in the midst of discussions when I'm not able to keep up with all that is being said and neither is he...
Shar is finding it difficult in the interpersonal relationship department without being able to communicate with the ladies she has contact with as well as she'd like too. It's nearly impossible to minister on a deeper level with our language limitations.
The finances have not all come in yet to allow us to go to language school in 1 week's time . I'm now wondering what to do with my ministry over the summer time if we can't go... My translator will likely be very involved in the summer YUGO outreaches translating for teams that come in June, July and August. I don't know how available he will be for me- I'd hate to have to cancel classes for that time. We cannot meet often in the winter because the rains make the roads impassable, so summer is a good time to get lots done!
We'd appreciate prayer for encouragement for us- we've had lots of stuff come at us lately including some stuff stolen off of our property, new neighbours that are shady and seem to be keeping an eye on when we're home and not, our tax situation has not worked itself out yet- so we were again short 25% of our income for 2 months- though we will be getting part of that back, (someday)- and the seeming stagnation of our ability to communicate and the lack of finances to go towards language training, and the thought of maybe having to cancel the Bible College ministry for the summer, and maybe needing to leave the field for 9 months to get proper language training has been weighing heavily upon us!!!
We appreciate you all standing with us-- please pray that in all of these things- God would be glorified!!
