Lunch

One of the highlights of my first two weeks here has been having lunch with Shedd and Kris Waskosky most days. We met Shedd and Kris in Shell, Ecuador when we lived there in 2008. Shedd and Kris have been working on Bible translation in Salasaca Quichua for the last 20+ years. They have recently moved back to the U.S. (Sioux Falls, SD) but, thanks to technology, will still be actively involved in Salasaca translation work. They are both teaching this summer. Since we both live off-campus, we usually pack our lunches and sit in the booths and eat together while everyone else heads over to the cafeteria. It was Shedd and Kris' encouragement that helped land me here in Grand Forks this summer and I've enjoyed being able to pick their brains, hear their stories, and soak up some of their wisdom.
