Dear family and friends,

quite a few days have passed since the last post! I am sorry if I have kept some waiting for news. You see, I am still waiting for the debrief summary that SIL is writing about my stay. They sent me their first draft for me to review. I sent it back but I am still waiting for the last version. In order to not keep you waiting, I shall proceed and give you all a bit of an account of what I have done in Cameroon from February 2nd to March 16th. Oh, and before I forget: I am in Dos Hermanas now. More about this down below.
Here are two excerpts from the Cameroon debrief summary. Since it's a bit private and I am not going to publish it on the blog, if you have been in my team (which means any family or friends who have been praying and/or giving for the trip), you can write and ask for a copy of the debrief letter, which I also ask you not to publish online.

First excerpt: some of my activities.

-Inserted Bubi text for 9 parables, and EG Pidgin text for 3 parables into Publisher documents.
-Helped with transcription of words into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) in So, Mmen and Lefa.
-Visited village allocation of Isaac family and helped with home schooling.
-Adapted French-based transition primer from Tunen to Bakoko.

Second excerpt: how I mixed in the culture.

Ricard adapted well to different situations and cultures. He seemed to do well with cross-cultural interaction.


Well, that's it for today! Thank you everyone for your prayers! Christina and I still need them, since we are really busy with our wedding plans, me moving to southern Spain, a job interview in the morning, and visiting an appartment in the afternoon. And a lot of work transcribing!
Love in Christ,
Ricard

    Pos això... Un petó ben gran per tu i la Christina i fins la propera!

  3. So are we going to keep hearing from Ricky's Ranch, or has he left the ranch and moved to...the southern part of Spain to catch some rays....
