Cherokee Starts Tomorrow

Posted by Jonathan and Jenny on Sunday, August 30th, 2009

We are settled into our little room for our time here in Oklahoma.  We went to church today at a Cherokee church and were going to eet our language helpers for the next 7 weeks.  Things did not go exactly according to plan, but it looks like we have a language helper for Tuesday lined up.

Tomorrow we spend the day reviewing Phonetics and going over what we will be up to for the next 7 weeks.

Next time I get online I will be prepared to upload photos of our “fort” as we are calling it, built out of matresses and bunk bed frames.

Please pray for us as we jump into this totally new schedule with our family.  Trading childcare with another family, language helper sessions, cleaning crews, cooking crews, team meetings, data entry and so much more.  Thank you for standing with us in prayer.

On the Road to OK

Posted by Jonathan and Jenny on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Loaded to up to our eyeballs on the way to Oklahoma

Loaded to up to our eyeballs on the way to Oklahoma

We had an awesome time at the MTC and now we head off tomorrow morning to see some friends in Oklahoma before going to Tahlequah on Friday.  It is hard to believe we are already on our way to Ling Practicum in Oklahoma.

We had so much stuff to take with us so that we can completely setup house when we arrive in Oklahoma to 4 bare walls. :)  We never thought it would all fit. We even had some willing volunteers to take some things down for us…but Jenny worked her magic and got it all in.

Prayer

Please pray for the kids – this is yet another transition for them…and for us.

Praise

We had such a great time here in Missouri reconnecting with friends from our time here in the training.  We all wish we could move back in. :)
