The Weekly Wrap-Up: February 19-23, 2024

Ey up!

Man, what a difference a week makes. The snow is gone, the sun is shining, and I saw some green shoots poking out of the ground. Spring is still a month off, but I will never begrudge some early warmth. 

You should be seeing my prayer letter sometime in the next couple of weeks. I went on a slight rabbit trail for some of it, which has largely been missing from recent missives. It felt nice to be back in that ruminative headspace. I just hope it makes sense to people. 

We had a team meeting on Tuesday. It was nice to see everyone on camera again. I'm usually just communicating via message. Everyone is doing fairly well. You can pray for some upcoming trips and medical needs. Pray also for more translated groups to come in. It's not often that I say we need more work, but right now, we're in quite the dry spell.

Our meeting on Wednesday went okay. We'll have some follow-up, but I was able to provide info on current projects and completed projects. I think there's a lot more we could be doing with digital products (like apps) in the future, but we need more people who can really sell it to others. 

For the rest of the week, I was working on English templates. I have my spreadsheet of changes I'm making so I can do the same in the other eight art sets. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

I think that'll do it for the week. I hope you all found a fun way to celebrate President's Day. 

Bye!

The Weekly Wrap-Up: February 12-16, 2024

Ey up!

I miss false Spring. It was lovely. The sun was out. Birds were chirping. 

Now we're back to snow. Bah. 

I'll live. But I will also complain. 

This has been a decent week. I had a fair number of meetings, most of which were actually useful. I worked on the English templates. I hosted chapel online. 

What did I not do? Write my next prayer letter. I really need to get on that. 

Next week in Publisher. 

Bye!

The Weekly Wrap-Up: January 29 - February 2, 2024

Ey up!

It's another quiet week. Sadly, my birth month is now at an end. I'm sure I'll find other things to celebrate. 

I have finished fixing all of the published files. The team has been advised of things to double check in the future. I have reminded myself of things. 

And we're now in a bit of limbo.

I have nothing in my queue for my team. Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch. (One of these is not like the others.) So we're sweeping up some cobwebs and making sure the stuff we've already done is correct. And maybe possibly thinking about some new languages. 

We'll see.

I, of course, find plenty to keep me busy with my side projects at OMS. We have a big meeting coming up about digital products, so I have a few things to do for that. Oh, and I wrote a script for a video update I need to shoot. I'll share that when I can. 

I'm seeing "The Chosen" this weekend. I've heard good things. I've also heard I'll cry. So that'll be fun. 

If you cry this weekend, I hope it's for a good reason. 

Bye!
