Where do? (Cubby letter 7/15/2019)

Salut!

At least I think that is something in Ben's mission language. I tried.

This week was pretty slow, they had Kiribati's 40th Independence day on the 12th, so nobody was really available until it was over. We had fun anyway. One highlight of the week, I found two different translations of the Bible than what we currently use, so I've been studying them. That might sound boring to some, but it is interesting to me. I suppose you can add that to the list of my boring interests; birding, geography, and now bible translations and how they compare. I met a dude from Germany, he was just visiting from Munich. It kinda freaked me out because he had never ever seen missionaries before. He saw us and asked us very straight-forwardly what in the world we were doing there, so we, for the first time, explained in depth what a mission is. I mean it makes sense, if you think about it. He was all the way across the world, in a place he considered very remote, he saw two young men wearing shirts and ties and slacks. I would be confused too. Anyways, Kiribati is still hot, and I'm still doing fine.

For a spiritual thought, I would just like to invite everyone to really ponder the term 'improvement' and what it's significance is in the eternal perspective of things.
