Greetings frora the Land

of smiles . After

a

long year

of

fund

raising

we are

finally

here in

Thailand. We

had

a pleasant but

tiring journey.

A

total of hours of delays in our flights added

to

the problem

of our jet lag .

We are

adjusting well

to

the Thai

culture.

The

hardest adjustment

to make is to the Thai food.

We

are staying with Mary Parkhurst,

librarian

at CBI,

and she eats

a

lot of

American food

so

this is

making the adjustment easier.

Tracy

and

Dawn are loving Thailand. They are so happy with their

new

friends and school. They seem to

be

adapting with no

problems,

At

their school, in addition to the

regular

subjects, the girls

also study

the Thai

language

two

days

a week.

/ Rosemary and I began our language study on Jan.

24.

It is

a

slow

tedious process trying to learn

a

new language,

but it is

very

exciting

to go out in the

town and the

market

places

and try to

converse with

the people in

their native tongue. We

will continue

to study

language 6-8

hours

a

day

for at

least

the

first six

months

The current

academic dean,

Walt Prevost,

is

leaving CBI after our

graduation on

April

2. During

my

first staff meeting on Jan. 18

Peter Sutjaibun, president of CBI,

asked me if I would

take over

the position of academic dean. So

from now until

Walt leaves,

I

will

be working closely with him

to

be able

to

make

a

smooth

transition into this

work.

I will assume full duties

of

academic

deam in addition to

my

teaching responsibilities with the next

school term

beginning

in June. Please pray for

me

in this new

work

We are currently looking for housing, A nice three-bedroom house

is

empty

close to CBI and right next door to where we

are

now

staying. We

are

in

the

process

of

bartering

for a price

with

the owner. However, he wants

a

large deposit of $500-600 so I

don't

know if we can afford that. Pray that God will provide

our

need and find

suitable

housing for us.

A special

THANK

YOU

goes to all who

have helped us

this

year.

Many

individuals'

names are

not listed

but have given through

their

respective churches. Many thanks

to the great people at our

home

church

of Parkway in

Middletown, Ohio who through

their

love rand

concern

purchased

our

plane

tickets with love offerings

and

special

gifts.

To those we know and those we do not know, a sincere

thank

you.

Detailed financial reports for 1982 are

available upon

request

from our forwarding

agent.

If in the turmoil

of

moving we

have

ac

cidentally omitted anyone, we apologize and ask your forgiveness.

It

was not intentional.

Expenses are

running

more than

we originally

thought due

to

increases

in housing costs

and

language study.

After

6 months on the
