Ben and Leonie have arrived here in Lapoc!!!!
THANK YOU for all your prayers for them:
For their preparations
For their wedding
For their travel
For all the details that had to be worked out......
After all your prayers – well....here they are!!!
And now, they need your continued prayers.
It is not easy to be plunged into a new country, into a remote village, into a place where
there is nowhere to go out, no places to shop, no family or friends around, everyone speaks
a different language, you have to make your own bread, and you see things and hear things
every day that sound and look foreign......and all this on top of not even having been married for
a month yet!!
Ben started classes on Monday and Jubab has been really enjoying having Ben for his
teacher!!!
It is nearly the end of their second week of school
and everything is going great.
Leonie has been doing a marvelous job of organizing
their first household as a married couple and baking bread
and settling in. Today they will be happy to see some of
the landscape more clearly as for the first few days
all they saw was fog.
Thank you for your continued prayers for Ben and Leonie and praise God with us that because they are here, we had a huge week on the translation and were able to work 10 hour days!!! We got a whole chapter of Romans finished by yesterday as well as updating our Tala-Andig dictionary which we use extensively while we translate. And today we made a lot of progress into our second chapter for the week!!! All this because Ben and Leonie are here as without them on the team, our progress on the translation would be seriously slowed down.
Thank you for all your prayers over the years for the fantastic teachers who have team-worked with us,
Julie, Jessie, Jane, Barb.....and now Ben and Leonie!! God is SO AWESOME!!
