“Stomach pain hit us” is the translation of the title. You don’t catch a stomach bug, it hits you; and if you think about it that makes more sense. When you want to catch something you have to try, but sickness usually finds you on its own 🙂
Comprehension checking is exciting! I get to read God’s word to people who haven’t heard it before and make sure they understand it.
Once a year the missionaries of our central area meet for conference consisting of tribal reports, fun and Bible teaching. The central area consists of the highlands of PNG and the Madang area where Kovol is, so that’s the one we attend. PNG is a large country and so we also have Western and Eastern areas, and they have their own conferences.
For one of our post-literacy readers, I thought it would be fun to write a short story about a time Gerdine and I went to a Kovol garden with our friend. Readers need illustrations to go with them, so I’ve been working on illustrating my own story 🙂
