• A missionary friend has given me a very nice monitor. It’s size and high resolution are a real blessing as I spend hours working on the S. Isnag translation.
• Regarding those hours, for the past few years I have been having trouble with nerve pain in my arms due to the position required to type on a laptop. Two weeks ago someone brought me a external keyboard from the USA which is designed to alleviate arm pain. It is working. 
• James has had a few episodes of feeling light headed. This past week he had some medical tests: EEG and Tilt Table test. We will be discussing the results of the tests this Friday with his doctor. Please pray that we will be able to come up with an accurate diagnosis and remedy for James.
• Charles is doing well in Oregon. Keep praying for a job and for his future plans. He has decided to go to a college in Oregon this coming year.
• We are pleased with the progress on the exegesis stage of translation which has moved into the book of Mark. Pray that a good opportunity to meet with my Isnag language helper will present itself.
• Carrie will be going on a ministry trip to a local women’s prison this week. Pray that her team will be a blessing and for their safety.
• Heidi and I are preparing to run a 3 day children’s program for the children of NTM missionaries working in Palawan next month. Pray that we will be able to encourage children and adults.
