What a great journey we are apart of here. Not only are we on our own, but we're involved in other's adventures, too. One special thing that's going on right now in our neck of the woods is the completion of the first New Testament since our arrival in April 2009. This family has been working on their project for 22 years! They came to Indonesia just a few months after they were married and have been here since. Recently, they got their copy of the Ambai translation back from typesetting. (Here's where we partner in their adventure) They asked the community to come and check for mistakes. My first thought was," Yeah right! Me? Check for grammar mistakes in a language I can't read?!" BUT that's not what they wanted :) whew. So we checked that the footnotes matched the verses they were meant to match. We checked that references were written correctly. Most importantly, we came along side of this translation team to support, encourage, and rejoice with them and the Lord that more people are going to read His words in a language they completely understand!

Very cool opportunity.
