all so you could have an overview and know how to be praying.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>February <\/strong>(this week): Benjamin will be leading a few sessions in a training workshop for new translation note writers.<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>March<\/strong>: Benjamin will be in South Sudan for a couple of weeks to observe (and help with some translation training modules) unfoldingWord&#8217;s Equipping Journey translation process. This is a selection&nbsp;of&nbsp;scripture texts for translation that deal with certain theological topics in the hopes of growing and maturing the translators and encouraging pastor-translators to take those texts and begin using them immediately in church teaching. Right now he&#8217;s reading all the material the Sudanese teams have been working through.<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">Also <strong>March<\/strong>: Staring during the second week of that workshop, in the late afternoon-early evening Benjamin will be part of a 2.5-week remote checking workshop for the Ron translation of Genesis in Nigeria. The first week overlaps so he&#8217;ll be observing his mentor lead sessions from South Sudan, but Benjamin won&#8217;t be leading any checking sessions until after he returns to the US (when those sessions will be early morning). Right now he&#8217;s checking two chapters of Genesis a week and sending notes to the team in Nigeria.<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>May<\/strong>: Benjamin is not going to Italy for a translation class because&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#006400\"><strong>little Wright #4 is due<\/strong><\/span>. (He will probably do the class on zoom.) As usual, we haven&#8217;t found out if this one is a boy or girl and the soonest we&#8217;re likely to agree on names is on the way to the birth center. Right now we&#8217;re trying to stop calling Anastasia &#8220;baby&#8221; and she&#8217;s starting to understand that she can point to mommy&#8217;s tummy and say, &#8220;baby.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>July<\/strong>: Benjamin will be in Nigeria for over two weeks for another checking workshop for the Ron translation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>September<\/strong>: We hope to make a trip to the east coast to see our family, friends, partners, partner churches, share about what&#8217;s been going on with our Wycliffe ministry with folks, have a little vacation, etc. We&#8217;re thinking perhaps up to six weeks in North Carolina and north. (Benjamin will probably be prepping for the Oct-Nov Ron workshop among other things while we&#8217;re traveling.) Right now we&#8217;re trying to decide if we&#8217;re doing any camping \u2026 and if we need a bigger tent since six people don&#8217;t actually fit in six-man tents.<\/li>\n<li style=\"-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\"><strong>October<\/strong>:&nbsp;Benjamin will be attending a Bible Translation Conference here in Dallas.<\/li>\n<li
