Another week @ CanIL seems to have gone by. It’s feeling a little more like summer up here these days, with the temperature getting often getting above 30 C (86 F). I don’t mind it, but some others have had a few objections. We play ultimate frisbee on Tuesdays and Thursdays and last Tuesday it was probably about 90. With everyone else lamenting about the heat I took the time to lecture them about what summer was actually supposed to feel like!
And we’ve still been having plenty of other extracurricular activities as well. Last weekend we went to
Yet despite all the fun I’m having, yes I am still taking classes. There are now 3 weeks left so the deadlines are beginning to loom. But things are looking a little more organized than last week, so that’s good….I think. I believed I mentioned before I’m learning Ilocano in my class that is about language learning. This last week we had a test where we were given a shopping list and had to go to a little market we had made up and buy the items from Esther, who is our LRP(Language resource person) from the Philippines. I was doing just fine until a little incident with a pineapple. While I was trying to barter down the price I was fiddling with the leaves on the top and somehow managed to pull one completely out right in front of Esther! I suddenly realized I didn’t have vocabulary in Ilocano to deal with that situation, so I just agreed to buy the whole thing.
And there is progression on other fronts as well. I talked with two different recruiters from Wycliffe yesterday, and things appear to be in order to officially start the application process. There are still some timing issues, for which I would ask you to pray about. Please pray that God would grant me the wisdom to discern his will, the peace to accept it, and the courage to follow it through.
Thanks so much for your prayers!
