Dear Cornerstone family,
I wanted to write and say thank you for your financial support in September. It really means a lot to us that you stand with us in prayer and giving.
The family is doing well here. Home schooling is off and running. The kids earlier had a project of working out in the yard landscaping a section that we hadn’t ever been able to use during the 6 years that we’ve lived here because of all the overgrowth and trash that was dumped there. They got that done before cooler weather set in, and they’re happy to have that done and now look forward to being able to use it next Spring as an area where they can have school, or we can just sit outside for meals when we cookout. Now, for that slot in the morning, instead of working outside, they’ve been listening to sermon tapes. Currently they’re listening to John Piper’s Romans series.
Timothy is working on Trigonometry and Chemistry. He, Jonathan and Elizabeth will be taking an English Literature class taught by one of the MK teachers here. Elizabeth has a ‘Daughters of the King’ club with some other MK girls. They get together about once a month or so. The last thing they did was to make goodies for a bake sale that our English Library held, along with a Garage sale to raise money. God answered prayer with good weather that day and it was neat to see their involvement and to know about the proceeds that will help with the funding of the library. Matthew enjoys having his buddy back from furlough who lives down the street. They spend a lot of time playing together, including in a floor ball club that our team mates have started for his age group. Floor ball is sort of like floor hockey, and is played indoor in a gym. Kirsten is amazing us with the new things that she can say. Potty training is still a challenge but it is coming along.
Pamala is looking forward to going to a Women’s Retreat on the Croatian coast. This is the first time she has gotten to go for a while now that Kirsten is old enough to stay with Daddy. So I’ll be Mr. Mom for a couple days.
I am gearing up to start teaching Introduction to Biblical Languages, as well as Hebrew 1 and 2 at a couple schools in Bosnia and one in Croatia. It’s taking a long time to work on the textbook, Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar, but at least it’s far enough along that I can use a draft of it for the classes. We’re still working on Daniel Wallace’s Biblical Greek Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament. This is just in the beginning stages but perhaps I can use part of it for the Greek sections of the class, since that won’t be until the Spring.
We’re still praying for housing in the Kansas City area for our furlough, which, Lord willing, will run from the end of July 2007 through end July 2008.
For the Bible translation project we are making progress, albeit slow. James chapters 1 through 3 are in draft form, as well as Philemon and an initial draft on 1 John 1 & 2, and also 2 John.
The last couple Sunday nights I have taken Sim and/or Ljuma to a Bible study here in Ilidža. It’s nice to have a place for them to go where there are at least one or more other Bosnians involved. We’ve been reading through the book of Acts and talking about it and asking questions in a discussion group. Pray for this Bible study to develop through more Bosnians coming to know Christ and the believers to be faithful to attend.
Thank you again, so much, for praying for us, and for your financial support.
In Christ,
Todd & Pamala Price
