Planted cabbage in Mama Ruth’s garden

What a neat experience Chad and Kiery had! They went to our house merri’s place and helped plant cabbage in her garden! Her garden is huge!!! You are literally hiking through the acres of jungle to get from plot to plot. And she said next time I’ll need to plan a whole day to go with her to her cow cow gardens up on the mountain. From there you can see all the way to Yonki dam (which is pretty far away J) The people here are so generous and love to show you their gardens and tell you about things. Of course, in-spite of my protest, we weren’t allowed to leave without armloads of lettuce, carrots, green onions, cucumbers and sugar cane. The sugar cane is a neat snack and they got a kick out of watching us try to bite through the tough husk!

Chad accepted CTS Manager position for December through July-ish

Well, we haven’t been here for long, but there is a severe shortage of computer guys here at the SIL (that’s Summer Institute of Linguistics which is the parent organization the Wycliffe operates with). The current manager of the CTS (Computer and Telecom Services) department is leaving on Furlough in November and that leaves a big gap. So they approached Chad about taking on that role until the full time manager returns in the July timeframe. After a weekend and prayer and consideration, we agreed to it and look forward to seeing what God will do with that.
