He must have needed a “break”
After Mark’s fall and surgery to repair his shattered elbow last month, some of you were pretty creative. One note referred to our home base here in Ohio: “So, Chagrin Falls (much to Mark’s chagrin) must be aptly named…more dangerous than the Andes.” Another wrote, “God knows you need a break from your riptide schedule…I’m glad you get a break to tend to yourselves.”
Mark no longer wears the black brace you see in the photo. Just last week he began therapy. His left hand is basically useless and there’s very little range of motion in his elbow. We hope to see both improve by this time next month. We are hopeful the doctor will give us clearance to return to Peru at that time.
Workshop adjustments
Mark continues to work on translation via the Internet, albeit at a much slower pace than normal. As we mentioned last letter, we were planning to hold the next translation workshop out in a remote location. No more. Since we won’t be back in Peru in time, we sent someone out there to let people know that we won’t need the food, lodging, meeting places, and other things that we had arranged for.
