vis i tors
recently. Last

she took a Shona language course. The Abels
were also
here from Mashoko for the
course.
In
June
we had a
gro
Cc^llege. While
they were here
Linda stayed with me.
We
have spe
as i-hey came thru here on the way to
o th er p arts
of
the
country.
Madonna

Spratt
were
here.
Madonna and I
lived
in
the
sa
I f i r s t came to work in th is country. We

Is

PLEASE
PRAY FOR ME
This year has been an
exhausting
one fo r me. The supervision of the teaching
at
the high
s chool has
been a bi g
responsibil i ty
because a lmost a ll
of the
teachers are new teachers
and do no t know just what the school expects of them. Jayne was on fur lough from January
to
July so 1 was
doing
th e
customs
and
immigration
work
that
she would
have
done i f she
had been here. She is back
now
and s in ce th e VBS is finished is in a position to take
back these jobs. This short school break I
was
hoping to
get
caught up on several
things.
With
the retreat,
the conference,
a
trip
to South Afr ica
fo r
more car repa ir s, filing
my
income
tax
and Ann s and writing this newslet ter the time has gone. I
did
ge t a few
more
hours
sleep fo r p art
of th e
time
bu t
I do
no t
feel
l ike
beginning
another
school term,
Please pray that I have ex tra s tren gth t o be able
to
cope with my schedule.
Thank you fo r
al l
your
help
in the work
here
and especial ly for your prayers. May God
bless you
in
your work fo r
Him.
In
Chris t ian
Love,
