Cheyenne - Bible Translating & Recording
Louise just finished recording for today. Verda recorded this morning. I am happy to report that Louise finished recording all of her parts for the Gospel of Luke. One chapter remains for Verda, as narrator, to record the next time she works with us (Monday). Now we have a large amount for Leroy to record for the voice of Jesus. Leroy has a fulltime job, but he is able to get some time off to record with us once in awhile. We hope he will be able to work with us tomorrow (Friday) morning when Verda will be gone. Please pray that Leroy will be able to put in longer periods of time to record the voice of Jesus. Cheyenne like hearing his voice recorded as he does the voice of Jesus. Please also pray that Leroy will be able to relax when he records. He works so hard at trying to record the best that he can that he often tenses up and tires himself out in a short amount of time. We probably have about 10 or so hours of recording that we need Leroy to do, so it will help him as well as the naturalness of his recordings if he will be able to relax as he records.
We have been meeting our goal of averaging 25 verses recorded each work day. I have also been able to squeeze in some time to edit some of the sound files. I have been able to copy several passages to CD and distribute them already (including to some Cheyennes from Oklahoma who were here recently for a funeral). I am trying to get all of the Easter chapters from Luke ready for people to listen to during the Easter season.
Everyone who listens to the recordings comments on how good they sound. The Cheyenne voices come through loud and clear. Please continue to pray that Cheyennes will find new life in Christ through hearing God's Word so clearly in their heart languages.
I am also happy to report that I have had almost no more computer problems for recording. We upgraded to a new version of the recording program and it has been working very well.
Elena did pretty well at the meetings she attended in Arizona. Of course she had to pace herself to be able to cope with the schedule since her energy is limited with her Lyme Disease. She made sure she got good rest and that helped. Elena will have her regular 6 month telephone consultation with her doctor in Chicago tomorrow. At this point Elena is tolerating all of the antibiotics she is on as well as other medicines the doctor has her taking. Elena feels that she might be experiencing a slight amount of improvement. She still has a long ways to go for full recovery, but we are thankful for each bit of progress.
Please continue to pray for my energy as we do the recording work. I am putting in long intense hours and I am tired. But I am trying to pace myself, get good rest at night, and am buoyed up knowing that if we keep up our current pace, we will finish the recording work on schedule, and will be able to do what our hearts have desired for so many years, release the recorded and printed Scriptures to Cheyennes in the clearest form they have ever had.
