Not just buildings
Lots of physical labor needed to be tackled as missionaries went back into a Nahuatl village recently, but that’s not the main thing.
“Although there are many things that will require our attention when we return to the tribe, we will focus primarily on reconnecting with the people,” wrote Katie Moore. “We have been gone during the rainy season and want to spend time visiting all our friends and neighbors.”
That also means time spent in language learning and review. “Time to brush the dust off our phrases and get back to work,” Katie wrote. One they expect to use a lot is Ni ki to kwal?, which means, “Did I say it right?”
The physical work mainly involved completing a house for new members of the Nahuatl team, Pete and Liesl Hypki. The outside is complete, but the inside needed to be finished, and before that could happen, 1,500 adobe bricks that were put inside to protect them from rain had to be moved.
Six missionaries from another part of Mexico came in to help with the task.
Pray for the missionaries as get back into ministry, build relationships and ask, often, Ni ki to kwal?
