Hello friends and family,
We were one happy group this last Saturday when we cheered for Kirsten as she received her M.A. in Speech Pathology and Audiology. She will soon start her first job in Battle Creek as an “SLP”= speech and language pathologist. Here are a few pictures,with proud family,grandparents and boyfriend. We were sorry that Danny was unable to join us,but Chaz,Laura and I will be with him in Texas in a few weeks for his graduation.
The happy graduate
The proud family
The morning after graduation day,Chaz left (at 6 a.m.!) for Guatemala. He is participating this week as a consultant at a workshop for indigenous translators. In this workshop the translators will be working on the book of Jonah,learning about features of Hebrew discourse (or the structure of a narrative/story) and applying those to Jonah. Chaz is working with the Pokomchi and the Mam translators. The man leading the workshop,Stephen Levinsohn,is an old friend from Colombia and an excellent teacher. Please pray for health and good working relationships for all participants. There are comfortable facilities and internet and afternoon soccer,as well as good food. A more complete report will follow when possible. We’ll soon be uploading more graduation pictures,as well as ones from Guatemala,onto our photo gallery as well.
