Someone lit the fire under the workshop participants today, Wednesday, February 22! They made great progress on the word collection, ending the day just shy of 9,000 words total, making it quite probable that the goal of 10,000 words will be reached tomorrow (Thursday).
When I left Thionck-Essyl last Friday, after the first week of word collection had resulted in barely achieving 50% of the overall goal, I must admit to feeling somewhat uncertain as to whether the goal of 10,000 words would actually be reached. Lower-than-hoped-for attendance was hampering progress, and folders of unglossed words were stacking up. Of course, that meant that those words weren't being entered into the database either. So I was feeling a wee bit disappointed by those facts, though I was still doing my best to trust that God would use the situation for good, in spite of what I perceived as shortcomings.
Hearing of the great progress this week has been a great encouragement to me—and to all of the participants as well, I'm sure.
