Janice started this post yesterday and I'll finish it today. I'm just sitting at the computer listening to some Christmas music we got from Ray (thanks, Ray!) a few years back and hanging out with Esther. It's 9:35 and we're the only ones up.
The picture below is with some of the kids and our first guest. His name is Nathanael Szobody. Nathanael spent his teenage years in Chad along with the rest of his family. They are missionaries with our denomination. His dad is a seminary professor in Southern Chad.
Coming here was a homecoming of sorts for Nathanael. Ten years ago he and his family spent time here doing what we're doing. And, guess what, he can speak French. So, there is hope for us.
It was so encouraging to see him talk with the french folks around here just as if he was a native.
He's a really neat guy. Love's the Lord and is currently going to Concordia Bible College in the Chicago area. As part of his program he's learning Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. He told me he knows French, English, Chadian Arabic, and the tribal language where his family is in Chad. Yikes, and we're having problems with learning just 1 language.
Hope you all have a great day.
Love you all.
