JUNE, 1981

G^eXcng-A Zn tkt name. o£ "Chvu,t. Je^os, whom God made ouJl wcidom, owi foighteoouSi-nej)&, and 4>ancti^^eation and A.edemptlon" (I Cok, 1:30), TkU veJi&e -u taking ondeepejL meayung to me oi I ^tudy and pA.each thKoagh I CoHlnthlan^ again, now Inthe eighth cJiapteA.,

I'm happy to fiepont that onotheA 6ouZ {tki& maket the ^i^h tkU yeax] wait addedto the cku/teh hexe on June 14 a& Staey wa6 immeA&ed into Chfii&t, Stacy ii> thelO-yeoA old daughter, o^ Shennjy who wa6 baptized on Ha/ich 7. Stacy had beenstaying loith heA gKandmothoA in New Vofik City but ihey moved to Has/xUi about twomonths ago, Eve^ ^ince, ^he ha& been caking que&tion6 about becoming a ChAlttian,He^ mothen 4)tud<.et and attends iaith^ulZy they witZ be helping each otheAQKow in the Lond,

One oi ouA otheK new Ch^bU>tianJ> invited the congregation to her home i^or a pot-tuck atoha party {^or the OerteZ& {deticioia), and we had a Surprise baby shower{^or Sherry, too. Sherry exprea-ied her appreciation over and over. She i& expecting her third chitd but had never had a bridal or a baby shower bC'̂ ore. Wep^m that thojie expre64ions o^ love by our congregation will touch the heart& OjjSherry'6 mother and hut band.

Since ioe do not have another pre-.6chool teacher, we have accepted no new 6tudentt^or montPu and now have only 15 enrotied. In the hummer the children attendi^egularly, to we o^en have lest than 12 present. Thus Sue and Henrietta canJust work hal^ days. They do continue to have a daily Bible story and worshiptime, but instead o{^ structured classes in small groups they do more art andcrait projects, water play, etc.

The one prospect we had ^or a preschool teacher is taking a mainland position.Most teachers were not trained as missionaries and so the idea raising theirown Support is a frightening prospect. Many teachers have expressed an interest•cn coming here, but when they learn they must raise their own support, they goelsmhere. If some congregation would underwrite a good part of a teacher'ssalary and then recruit the teacher, we would probably be more successful ingetting a good teacher. We keep getting requests to take students a}id aretettrng them that we should have a teacher by fall. Please pray that the Lordwill provide one [or even two], so that we can take more students and thuscontact more new families and keep up the support to the church. The preschoolfurmshes $500 per month to the church plus buying many supplies which the churchuses.

We are grateful for the increased contributions to the Mission from which oursalary s paid. The checks made out to Palolo Valley Church of Christ go only

p^ppses and mortgage payments. So faA_in June we.have received^ve checks for the mission ilxat were not for regular support. This helps. Wetrust that by the end of June ice will be able to make up the back salary not takenrn April and May, How we treasure you friends who respond quickly when needs aremade known.

Several months ago, when the congregation chose six men to chair committees andthen to meet together to make decisions and plans, we hoped that at last theyujere ready to assume, more responsibility for the ongoing of the church. Howeverour maintenance chairman moved to the mainland, our Christian Education chairmanmoved away, our outreach and finance chairmen have become irregular in attendanceso we cannot have sche.duled meetings. It seems that we wHl have to resume havingmonth-^ business meetings of the whole congregation. At least then, those who willbe makxng the decisions will be the ones who are concerned enough about the churchto be present, ojid will be the ones willing to carry out the plans.

It t& zoAly yeX, but pt^a&e, feeep tn mind oux AummeA {^uAloagk in 19S2. dfe thinkwe. have a p/ceaahe^ who wilt come ^o^ the ^ummeA, but they have two 6matt okiZdhjen•60 hi6 wi^e wiZZ. be unabZe to heip mack in the pne.-6choot.

We have only $175 ^or this purposenow. Bven small, regular gi{tts will help us so that we will not need to use ourcredit card ^or tickets,

Lora is spending the summer in San Jose, CA to help Leta, who is expecting her(irst child (our second grandchild} the last oi June, fmy is also expecting inSeptember, Hark .is working in the engineering department oi Hawaiian Telephone^or the Summer,

As I have been cutting the grass and shrubs, I have been shredding them and makingcompost. We have ^resh vegetables or {^ruit on the table almost every meal - greenbeans, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, corn, bananas, guava juice, papayas, or oranges,A new tree has small, green {ruit - we think they are limes.

Thank you ^or your interest and concern ior the Lord's work, Hay He make you tobe iruit{,ul in His Kiy^dom,

With our love.
