This year, I (Jen) was asked to become the language and culture coach for several new families who are arriving in the Philippines. It's been a ton of work developing a language curriculum and establishing the program, but it has been super rewarding to see new families start to arrive. We have had 3 new families arrives so far and completed orientations with them, helped them get set up in their new homes, and they are off and running on language study. One more new family will *prayerfully* join them in a couple weeks! Please pray with us for these 4 new families as they work hard to learn the language so that they can be equipped to minister in the locations where they will serve here in the Philippines. Pray to for extra strength for me and for wisdom to know when to push them harder and when to give them grace during the inevitable challenges that happen during language study.
One of the fun things we got to do with one of the new families is we got to bring their 4 kids to family camp while their parents continued language study. Ben was the one in charge of the team that led the youth program, and he did a great job! Everyone was teasing us that it looked like we forgot to save our progress on our game and hit "restart" by accident so we were back to having little ones to chase after. :)
