Urgent Prayer Request!!!

Hey everyone,
I spent my afternoon sitting in on part of the Acts translation check. It was a new experience. It was interesting, but right now Chris is feeling very discouraged. When we first came out we had high hopes that we could go through the entire book of Acts. Pretty soon, that got switched to through chapter eight, verse 3. Now, we're realizing that it will take a miracle to get that far. after spending the entire day (except for meals, of course!) they made it through chapter two verse 15. Linda is being really pessimistic about the whole thing, saying that there is not much point in trying too hard anymore. If we had another week to do this it wouldn't be a problem, but Linda is leaving first thing Monday morning. That gives them tomorrow to work on it. Plus they have to work around the Church service too. Unless they decide it would be worth while to skip that.
So, if you all could add Chris, Linda, Mark, and Sonde to your list of prayer, that would sure be appreciated. Mark, and Sonde aren't used to sitting for such long periods of time, so after a couple hours they go on overload mode. Poor Chris has had almost no time with his family, and since he's up really late every night all he wants to do on his time off is sleep.
The way it all works is, Linda tells Chris what section to read from the Ma translation. Then she questions Mark, and Sonde in Pidgin and then they work through any necessary changes.
I have to get going. Supper's on! Thanks for all your prayer support!
