The New Lang Lingo

Hi Friends. This week I finished term 5. I have 6 terms and then I graduate. SO that means I have one term left and then, will be conferred with a degree. It was a good term, not quite as intense as the rest, which allowed for me to actually see my family and have a bit of time with them. The classes were more Biblical than translation related, though, I did have Translation II which was my favorite course by far this past term.
I finished up this week with 3 exams on Tues and Wed and now have been catching my breath a bit and doing a bit of family admin, before our exciting adventure begins on Sunday.

We will be taking our little 88 Corolla Station Wagon across the border to Tanzania and down down down to the southwest corner to visit friends and the place we expect to work after returning from furlough in Feb 2010.  It is mostly paved (except for the many dirt detours where there is road construction).  It will take us 2 1/2 days to get down there.  

While in Mbeya we will have a meeting to find out more about what I will be doing next year and we will be house hunting.  It will also be a fun time for Jamie to reunite with her friends and for them to see Junio again after so many years.

Annabelle turned 3 today!!  Here are pics of her birthday party!  All she wanted was a cake, lollipops, sprite, and lots of friends.  I think she got all that and more.  What fun!!

Hi friends, Things are going well.  Just thought we would post these pics. One is of Annabelle with Gladwell’s youngest daughter, Virginia.  Their favorite thing lately is to come home from school and ask for 5 shillings, then they go and buy bananas from the fruit and veg. lady and eat them together.  Then there is the pic of Jer’s eye when he had such a bad infection, it was swelled shut.  It is probably a good thing that we didn’t take a pic of it on the inside cause it was hemorrhaging.  Then there is a pic of Junio in a play at school.  It was a modern day version of the good samaritan.  He was a kid who beat up another kid on the playground and took his ball.  He had a little too much fun with that role :).  Then there is one of him with his friends at school.  And then there is big girl Lily being so proud of herself sitting up.  She is generally really happy.  I love when she smiles, her tongue pops out!
