Finals Week

We have recently heard of several graduations occurring back in the United States. Of course, preceding all those walks down the aisle are the "Finals." Along with those finals always come the study, jitters, and anticipation. This week we will be taking a "final" of sorts.

We are going to be taking the 2+ hour boat trip across the channel with a tribal language helper (Tamrau pronounced Tom-rou as in round) to Kokopo. There we will be meeting Bob Rempel, an NTM language consultant, to do some testing and evaluation. This will be Aaron's 3rd of 4 and Lori's 2nd of 4 tests in our journey to complete the language and culture learning process in Patpatar.

Please pray for us and our language helper as we travel the seas. Pray for a good time of testing. Pray that we will be able to continue our language and culture learning so that soon the Patpatar will be able to clearly understand God's Word in their own language.

Thank you for praying on our behalf during this finals week!

Aaron and Lori
