"It's Good To Read This Text"
7:59 PM | Posted by

I'm working with IBT (Institute for Bible Translation) for a few years now. And during some of these years, my parents were unhappy with me. Because they thought that I had been working on translating a "Russian book" into the Bashkir language and the Bashkir people do not need it.
Once I forgot the Bashkir language draft of the Gospel of Luke at my parents' home. After a year or more I was back in the village and was doing field testing there of the draft. I read out loud to my aunt the book of Ephesians and asked a question that I'd prepared. Hearing this, my stepmother (who was nearby and doing her staff, but listening us) told me: "Oh, your father gave me almost the same thing. Some text about God. I think he took it from your room. He told me to read it." At first I did not pay any attention to her words, as I was too busy with field testing. Then she told me one more time. I was still busy. Then one more time. And finally I asked her: "Mom, what are you talking about? Please could you show me what you are talking about?" It was the draft of the Gospel of Luke, which I had forgotten and accidentally left behind. "Yes, Mom, father is right. You need to read it. It's good for both of you to read this text."
