What is Linguistics?

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Tomorrow we head to Missouri and then Oklahoma, where Sharon will analyze the Cherokee language through data gathered with a language helper. She will spend two months gathering data and analyzing it, then about three weeks writing a hefty paper about what she did. She explains the process and the specifics here:

Internship Update

Interning at Trinity

Interning at Trinity

Today is our last day interning for a while. Sharon will be analyzing Cherokee for the next three months in Oklahoma and I will be traveling in that area. I have family in southern Oklahoma, friends in Nebraska, and a church in Missouri to visit. I will also be coming back to Michigan for about a week while Sharon is studying.

In a matter of months Sharon will be completely done with her linguistics training and we will transition into raising support for our ministry full-time. After Oklahoma we will travel to Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee to continue getting the word out about our vision, purpose, and ministry in Cambodia.

We appreciate your prayers for safety in travel, finances for this final semester of school, and excellent relationship building as we share our ministry with churches and individuals.
