There are some things here that are just so inconstant. No hot water one day-no cold the next and internet availability are just a few of those little frustrations.
Yesterday Mr. Patterson, Mr. Dean, and Roland Gay had planned at Bible translating session for all day yesterday. Kevin and I were invited to join them after school. Brother Roland's guest apartment is on the 15th floor of an apartment building. The view from his East and South facing windows is just amazing. It was so surreal to watch a light flurry of snow drift down past the windows from a thin veil of clouds inhabiting the firmament above. I was so excited to be able to join the missionaries for the Bible translation. I have never seen how it's done before and it really gave me a good idea of the way that things are done. Here's a little fact to help you understand how slow of a process it is. Those three men and Ganpurev worked together for eight hours, straight through lunch, and they didn't even translate the whole first chapter of the book of John, a chapter they have all already done a considerable amount of work on. That is amazing.

Praise the Lord. It's amazing to see how much work goes in to accurately translating the Bible.
It really makes me thankful for the one that we've got.
