VISITORS

We

of

vis i tors

recently. Last

lived with me

while

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

here.

Madonna and I

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

Love,
