"I´m out in the village and I don´t have internet!"

That´s right. I don´t have internet, but I did finally get a signal on my mobile phone so I called Christina. That´s right. This is she updating my blog for me in my absence. I am indeed out "in the bush".

Ricard left Tuesday morning to "the village" by car with a Bible translator. He is living with a family in the village. They are Mmen speakers and Ricard is very much enjoying his time in the village. He has had the opportunity to go to the "baptist" school and meet the children there and he even had the chance to share the gospel with many of them. He also gave them a bit of a geography lesson as many of them wanted to know where Spain was. :)

Ricard is enjoying himself and has finally gotten to experience "bucket showering" which, is really quite nice in hot and humid places like Indonesia or Cameroon, as the case may be. :)

Thank you for all your prayers for Ricard. Please pray for opportunities for him to use his gifts and language skills to further this Bible translation project.

Standing with you all in prayer for Ricard,

Christina.

  1. Delighted to see this entry! We also spoke to him by phone, as he has the use of a mobile, so we gave him a call and chatted with him for quite a while, as also with the mother of the family Ricard is staying with in the village. He was happy for the opportunity to get going into actual work, gathering words and expressions, even if for a limited time.
