two samuels

Our translation team spent last week with our translation consultant, Pierre, checking through from 1 Samuel 25 right up to part-way through 2 Samuel 21. I am proud of the way my fantastic team worked so consistently and uncomplainingly, despite the heat (40°C+ in the afternoons with no fans), and I'm happy too that Pierre was pleased with our work.

On Friday lunchtime, before he left, Pierre was talking about how much he loves his work. It was a blessing to hear him say that, and I could honestly say that I felt the same way about mine. It isn't always easy to be here, but there is both an intellectual satisfaction in using my professional skills and the far deeper satisfaction of working with eternal purpose.
