Hey everyone! I'd just like to take some time today to let you know about some of the developments in my plans with Pioneer Bible Translators.
During December of this last year, I sat down with my coach and with the wife of the branch head for Papua New Guinea over coffee to try to sort out what needed to happen in regards to our exploratory trip to PNG this year. At the time Elizabeth and I were under a lot of stress to try to get everything worked out so that we could head over seas this February, and at the same time trying to figure out what we could do as far as setting up an apartment where we could live after we get married in May, as well as finishing with our wedding plans The combined force of these events was really causing us some difficulties. So it was decided that it would be better for us to wait until after the wedding to head overseas for our trip. In this way we could give ourselves more time to prepare for our wedding, and also cut the cost of our exploratory trip. The trip itself has been moved to this fall.
While we prepare for the wedding, we still have to live our lives and training here in Dallas. Elizabeth has moved into an apartment here, and we are starting to set it up as our first apartment together. She has also been able to find some projects from the Papua New Guinea branch of PBT so that she can continue helping with different translation projects that are in progress there, from her computer here. I have found a job waiting tables for Pappadeaux so that I can provide for the two of us and continue putting the money coming in for our roles with PBT towards our training and travels so that we can be sure of getting to Papua New Guinea as quickly as we are able.
I want to thank each of you who are partnering with us in this endeavor.
May the Lord keep and bless you,
Jacob
