Speaking of school, it has been interesting for Martha and the kids over the past couple of weeks with nearly 30% of the student population out of school on some days as Omicron was surging. It put an extra heavy load on teachers like Martha, who have had to spend hours each day preparing assignments for the kids staying at home. Of course, Martha and the kids also missed some days of school as well, but everyone is looking forward to the coming week in which things will start returning to normal.
As for me (Adam), I was able to keep working on the translation at home even through my Omicron infection, but I had a to miss a couple of days of basketball practice. (This term I am coaching the Middle School boys basketball team.) We started out the term with nineteen players, but on Monday of last week we only had nine because so many were out sick! Then I myself was out for the next two practices. Thankfully, I didn't get sick until after the community men's basketball game with the High School team. Jacob and his team did really well and beat us community men!

Please keep us in your prayers as we are truly entering the home stretch of the Enga New Testament translation. Lord willing, any significant revisions will be finished this month, and we will then spend April, May, and June making very minor tweaks as we do our final read-throughs. Pray that nothing would hinder our work.
