Chocolate Almost-Chip Cookies: Susie and I met at the MTC (our training overlapped by a few semesters). She has a passion for linguistics and a true love for people. In January, she arrived in Burkina Faso, West Africa. I've enjoyed her updates as she adjusts to a very different life than what she is used to.
Susie wanted to make her host family an American meal, so for dessert, she planned to bake chocolate chip cookies. (Quintessentially American, right?) Click the link above to read what happens when you add hard-boiled eggs, no temperature gauge on the oven, and no baking soda to be found in the market...

Literacy and Church Planting:
Janet was one of my teachers at the MTC (she taught "teaching literacy", among other things). She and her husband Gordon were missionaries in PNG for a number of years. Here is a short video they put together on the importance of teaching literacy.
God's Word changes lives. Giving people the ability to read and giving them the Word of God in their own language are truly some of the best gifts. Both are crucial to seeing mature believers and mature churches.
