Well… Friday I drove into town only to notice that the A/C had quit working. The fan worked but out came only muggy air. That’s not a good thing for a six-days-total journey to Nairobi. Especially with an 8-month-old. So, I took it to the garage first thing this morning. They pulled it up on [...]
I’m uploading a new photo gallery Dana put together from our 5-day Kinga recording journey. By the time you read this, it should be ready for viewing.
P.S. Most of the pictures have been geo-tagged, meaning you can see on a map where they were taken.

Jonah 1:15-16 in Kisangu

Happy Anniversary.
His name is Wiliadi Mwasembe (wee-lee-AH-dee mwah-SAY-mbay) and he is the Kisangu translation team leader. Back in June, he and I sat in the Scripture Use office and poured over the recently-prepared Ruth and Jonah scripts to check their accuracy. Upon completion of that task, we set the tentative recording date to be sometime in [...]
