On Friday 10th August I received a phone call from one of the translators that I had trained in Maroua. I thought he was calling because something was not working as is often the case with some of the translators that we support. So right away, I was already getting ready and even said a breath prayer asking the Lord to help resolve the problem that Kosma Jonathan might have. To might greatest dismay, he said he was only calling to thank me. He said all what they had learned especially about how to check their word list was useful and it helping them to advance in cleaning their text.
This was very encouraging as hardly does anyone ever call me back to say thank you.

Later that same day, I was teaching the exegetes and translation consultants some advanced tools in ParaTExt on how to setup their space to do exegetical work. I got feedback that this was really what they wanted to learn and that it was going to be immediately put to use. This is very encouraging as I feel that my time is not wasted but instead useful as I can be part of the Bible Translation process by helping translators to speed up their process.
