I had high hopes going into yesterday’s recording schedule. God exceeded them. Pastor/Translator Ahimidiwe arrived at the studio at 9:15am and we went straight to it. We only stopped for a couple of short breaks and lunch. By 4:06pm, we had finished ALL of the narrator’s parts of the text and the book introduction and all of the section headings.

Out of curiosity this morning, I exported the master script into Excel so I could gauge our progress.

We are over HALF way done with Mark already!  Wow, I knew we made some progress yesterday, but to reach that point is amazing… well… it’s God.

In case you don’t know, Vwanji will be the first langauge to have The Gospel of Mark recorded in it.  I’ve spent the last 4 days recording all but one of the characters for Ruth and Jonah in the language and now we’re gearing up for the ‘big show’.  We plan to begin recording that on Monday.

Jonah had 58 audio clips.  Ruth had 99 audio clips.  Mark will have 734.  Any guesses on the date I’ll be finished?
