Robert’s work
The Translation Department, where Robert works, recently was completely updated with new carpet, paint, lovely cubicles and new furniture. Robert praises the Lord for finally having a comfortable work environment after nine years of using outdated and non-ergonomic furniture. He keeps plugging away on the Exegetical Summary for the book of Galatians. Currently, he is on verse four of Chapter four. This project is quite tedious since he reads through seventeen commentaries and eleven versions of the English Bible and then summarizes all this information verse by verse.
Verna’s work
Verna continues to receive emails expressing gratitude for the Checklists tool she developed. Scott Youngman wrote, “The Checklists tool has been a GREAT help to our project, so I am very thankful for it. First, checking names has now become a manageable and practical task. Second, we have been able to discover a number of significant errors which we were not even aware of, but which the Checklists tool made very apparent. This is a great tool for improving the quality of the translation.”
2004 Summer Travels
|
In June, we put more than 6,000 miles on our car as we traveled both to Canada and Indiana. Verna’s mother flew to Winnipeg where we picked her up and spent some time visiting Verna’s relatives.
Verna enjoyed being the guest speaker at the Shalom Family Worship Centre Ladies Retreat in Steinbach, Manitoba on June 11-12. Many women received a special touch from Father God. We also spoke in several Sunday morning services, traveling as far west as Lloydminster, Alberta.
On our way from Canada to Indiana, we hit a deer and our car sustained $3,000 in damage. Fortunately, after some minor adjustments, we were able to get the car drivable, so we were able to complete our trip before having it repaired.
We were delighted to be able to attend Robert’s mother’s 90th birthday party in Indiana. She enjoyed her party immensely and we were able to visit with many of Robert’s relatives.
Verna’s study program
On Aug 25th, Verna begins her last year in the Master of Arts Counseling program at Dallas Baptist University. This year her focus will be on Practice Counseling at the Cedars Hospital in Desoto, Texas. Thank you for your prayers and your financial support toward her tuition costs. If you would like to contribute financially toward her study program, please mark your gift for Verna’s scholarship fund.
