Garden visit video

Published by SteveStanley on

Gerdine hiked down to a Kovol garden 3 hours away and spent the night there as part of her language study. She filmed a little bit of her journey and talked about it – in Dutch, but don’t worry there are English subtitles 🙂

Getting ready for Bible translation

I started the week with a translation kick-off. I had a phone call with a translation consultant here in PNG who talked me through the procedure, the available tools and a suggested order to translate. With the kick-off done, I'm ready to start translation. At some point, I'll get to attend a team translation workshop where my teammates and I along with some Kovol helpers are led through the process and use the workshop to draft a chunk of scripture under supervision. One of these isn't scheduled just yet, so after my kick-off, I'm ready to have a go.

Language study is finished for Steve

What a nerve-wracking few days! 8 months ago we had a language speaking test where I scored level 8/9 leaving only a single level to go. Would 8 months of work be enough to get over the final hurdle? I had finished all of the paperwork required, but had my speaking level also improved?

Stitching up a wound

Just as we finished Sunday lunch we got a knock at the door. On Sundays, we get together for a little church service as a family, we go down to the stream and have a paddle and we come back for a sit-on-the-floor finger food lunch. That's a settled routine for us, and just as it finished there was a knock at the door. Our friend informed us that someone had been cut and we needed to come and see it.
