We were very blessed to have the resources to drive 8+ hours to Ohio for the Teach Them Diligently Convention. It was such a wonderful time for us. The kids had a CRAZY time at the waterpark. Their first time!! I was amazed at the courage of our older ones to go on the rides. My hubby and I were so filled up by the speakers. The sessions were really encouraging. We especially gained a lot from Todd Wilson and Karen DeBeus . We were also quite excited about the museum of the Bible , coming to D.C in July 2017. I had the chance to enjoy some time with moms at the Evening of Real Refreshment. Mennonites worshiping with Pentecostals? Why not? =) It was an interesting experience. I appreciate the work put in by the team. I feel that TTD was VERY well organized and they had a ton of great speakers. I only wished the times for meals were not that rushed. =) Thank God for a mom on facebook to remind me the use of crockpot liners. OH MY!!! It saved our sanity...

Big Bro did his CAT test last week(a requirement for NY state) and it wrapped up our year. He did amazingly well and scored a few grade levels above his own for all categories. We are proud of him and how much he has achieved. BIBLE We reviewed all the bible verses we learnt this year. We talked about bible translation and since we have friends who are bible translators, I asked the kids to write down questions they are curious and have our friends reply them.  1. Do you know all the languages in order to translate?  First, translating a Bible is project involving many people. There are always mother-tongue speakers of the language the Bible is being translated into. The 'ideal' translator is one who can read the original Greek or Hebrew, read English (because of commentaries and translation helps available in English), and knows linguistics and translation theory as well as the national language of the country (because the translator has to live there)...
