It is scary how fast it seems that January is going to be upon us. I have announced the mission trip on my Facebook account, but so far not too much traffic from that. I suspect no new donations have come in, but I will let it simmer for a while, before I go an check.
I have been attempting to learn Creole by tape. At points it is hard to believe that Creole has a common heritage with French. Someone made the comment to me that Creole is almost like a slang version of French. I can see that. The one thing that I like about it so far is it hasn't yet made me deal with the gender of nouns. Maybe that will come later, but it is always an aspect of language that I hated and could never get right.
I am also wondering about the best way to start spreading the word abou the mission trip at the Church. I suspect I will try to set up a small table in the coffee hour after church, but not sure yet what I would put on the table and not sure what questions I can actually answer about the trip. All I really know are the dates. I don't know where we will be staying or the location that the school will be built. I am going a bit on faith here and assume it will all work out in the end. I do wish I had some idea of what the school would look like so that maybe I could bring pictures or a mockup of some type.
Tonight I will have to spend some time praying on this. One thing that came up in last Monday's Bible study is that as Christians we are meant to pray before action. This is something I need to work on as I usually focus on the action.
