Yes, I deserve to be fined for blog neglect.  After all, it is the work I’m doing that brought us to Tanzania!  Time to get y’all out of the dark and let you know what’s going on.

I’ll start out by showing you a (not so very attractive) map of the Mbeya area languages with whom we’re working.

There are four current projects on which I’m working.  Here they are…

1 - Mark 6:34 on a language specific poster with this as the background:

Read the verse and you’ll see why this photo suits so well.  It was the favorite in a survey of my fellow Tanzanian SIL colleagues in the office.  It is a shot I took last November on the way back from our first safari in Ruaha National Park.

I’ve kinda hit a standstill with the progress of the poster because the cost to produce a decent number for each language group is going to be substantial.  I’m even exploring purchasing them from an online printer in the states and having them shipped over.  The quality will be better while the cost will be about the same or less.  The only issue we have with that is that we’d prefer to contribute to the Tanzanian economy by doing our business in-country.  Please pray for direction on this.

I’ll post about projects 2, 3, & 4 over each of the next three days.  I’ve gotta pace myself getting back into this blogging thing!!!
