This past week my class has been taking place at Jungle Jump Off, a rustic camp setting near JAARS. I worked with two of my teammates to construct a temporary recording studio using heavy blankets, foam, egg cartons, and other materials. This is the hut we worked in:
We spent all day Tuesday preparing our studio - first building a small room-in-a-room type frame in the hut and covering it with blankets to block out outside noise. Here's Fred by the door flap that leads into the studio. (The hut was so small that it was difficult to get good pictures inside!)
We spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday working in the recording studio, with people from the local community as our speakers, to dub the audio over part of the Luke video. (The Luke video is shows the life of Christ as recorded in the book of Luke.)
We were just doing this as a practice to learn video dubbing skills, but in the field, this same kind of studio construction and recording techniques are what are used to dub the film into other languages. Videos like these in the local languages are a powerful tool to communicate the gospel and help believers grow!
In this picture, I'm in charge of the recording at the computer, while one student assists me and another prompts the speaker with his lines.~ ~ ~
I don't have any update on my kidney situation yet. My next test is scheduled for late next week and I will have a follow-up appointment after that. This week I have been having quite a bit of discomfort from the stent the doctor put in mid-October, but taking medicine to manage the pain. Thanks for your prayers!

Hi, Sara,
So there you are in the jungle at JAARS! I guess this is sort of like trying to record in PNG with crowing roosters and other background types of noise. Hope your classes continue to go well. Rich can identify with kidney pain from when he had stones and lithotripsy in the past. He had a stent for drainage from the pulverized stone. Definitely an unpleasant experience. We are praying that the stent will help and a permanent solution may be forthcoming. Meanwhile we also pray as you continue to partake of Christ's suffering that great will be your reward on the other side of it. Reading in Hebrews 4 about boldly approaching the throne of grace. What a privilege we have as believers:)
God bless,
Karen H
