Wednesday

The next to the last day of the program. The team visited the village of Beeakmu, presenting the Gospel of Mark and sharing with the people the importance of reading the Bible in their native language. Pastor Pavel also reminded everyone of how important it is to obey the Word of God after we have received it.

As a thank you, the village committee gave the team two tubs of coconuts, oranges, bananas, and plantain -- a special kind of banana that should be fried before eaten. The team now has a "rule" that each person must eat a banana for breakfast, dinner, and supper, and some other time during the day as well. :)

During the afternoon, they finished work on the office. Now they have light, outlets for the computers, and windows. Kolya taught computer skills to the translation team, and Anya taught the last lesson at school. They planned a review of the lessons for Thursday, and giving gifts to the children.
