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!
