This week has been full but it has flown by! I have been working on contacting all our potential translators, meeting with them, and updating their contact info. I am loving it! Give me a notebook. Tell me to organize it and to contact people. Let me make a “To Do List,” meet people for coffee, tell them what we believe (and expect of them as translators) and take their pictures! And I’m right in my zone!! Hopefully when I’m finished, finding translators will be much easier for Ruby & Fletcher and the REAP teams in the future.
Some of the translators are not believers. Pray that as they have opportunity to translate for a team that by hearing the gospel over and over out of their own mouth the Truth will penetrate their hearts. Some of the women that I meet about translating have deeper needs. One beautiful young woman I met today has the desire to grow spiritually but says she doesn’t understand because she is a new believer and is not part of a church. Pray that the Lord will give me wisdom on who and how to best invest and disciple them in the short time I have here.
REAP has one other member besides the Dickersons- Miss Patti. Miss Patti is 73 years old and has been a missionary for two years. She teaches ESL classes. I spent Wednesday afternoon with her and assisted in her English class. Lots to learn from Miss Patti about being obedient to God no matter what!
I’ve had a great week with my Aunt Ruby & Uncle Fletcher! It started by celebrating the 4th of July with all the missionary families here! Many of which are mentors and heroes in the faith to me! Then on Monday night we made our favorite tradition together- Blizzards! Dairy Queen has nothing on us! They’ve taught me more card games this past week than I’ve ever played before! We love playing cards together at night after our full days! Thank the Lord with me for giving me such incredible family to serve with here!
