Dear friends,
We hope you had a good Easter celebration! This has been a relatively calm month for us, with a long holiday weekend at the beginning and a 9-day vacation in the middle. We are gearing up for a busy May, June and July filled with travel, workshops and preparing our move to Congo. Here is our latest.
An honor for Douglas: Next month, Douglas will be honored as a Distinguished Alumnus by Euclid High School, where he graduated in 1977. This is truly an honor, and we are sorry we won’t be able to attend the ceremony. However, Douglas’ parents Bob and Barbara will make the trip from Greenville, South Carolina to Euclid, Ohio to accept it for him!
Discourse study: From April 26-May 14, Jennings will be attending a course and a seminar on language discourse features as they relate to translation consulting. She will be studying texts in the Tembo language to gain some insight into their discourse structure and to learn how this can help her work with translators to improve the naturalness of their translation. Please pray she will learn well. This training has the potential to positively impact the Tembo translation project, as well as her work with other projects in the future.
Something completely different: As part of Douglas’ 50th year celebration, we traveled to Ethiopia for 9 days this month. We saw beautiful countryside and breathtaking mountains, and we got a taste of the country’s fascinating history, culture and cuisine. We were also able to visit some friends in the capital Addis Ababa on our way back home to Nairobi.
We appreciate your prayers and support so much! We would love to hear what you’re up to and how we can be praying for you.
Douglas and Jennings
