seasons changing

Weather in Chad Africa, harvest timeOctober marks the end of rainy season in Chad. We have yet to find out how the crops will do as they finish ripening over the next couple of months. As I’ve mentioned months ago, rainy season had a fairly dry start this year, so many people didn’t lay seed down as early as desired. Tomorrow’s temperature in Chad’s capital will be 100F, and for the next couple of months, the temps will start to rise again, but this time, there is high humidity left over from the rains. This makes the last quarter of the year uncomfortably sweaty and sticky. One more reason to look forward to Christmas. That’s about the time when the best weather makes its way over Chad. If anyone is ever looking to visit Chad, between Christmas and Valentine’s Day is the time to go.

Summer progress

The two man translation team in Chad is taking some time off, their alotted vacation for the year. They work on doing and redoing the drafts of Scripture with Art’s guidance. During their time off, Art has a little breathing room to catch up with them. They tend to give up quality for speed sometimes, which adds more mind puzzles for Art to think through.
Art is also involved with ministering to international students at a nearby university. Who knows, maybe he’ll run across a student from Chad there someday.
