Speaking in Tongues

Caknaalrianun Mernuinerciutekaq was the theme tonight at the Bible conference in Yup'ik.  It means "Rest for the Weary".  Although I didn't understand much throughout the evening,  I was able to follow along in my Bible, as they made all the Scripture references in English.  People were friendly, and I was able to sing along to familiar tunes... I even sang "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" in Yup'ik!  At least, my best attempt at Yup'ik pronunciation.  Some of those sounds are hard to make!
