and his boys so much. The Lord's way is truly strange in our eyes, in the past year the Lord called our two best teachers to him. But we must not complain, they both came home after all. The 5 weeks in advance, when B. Arsen was ill, was a preparation time for him to "the last journey". I miss him, he was always so happy and laughed so joyfully when I came in to him while he was sick.

We then quietly celebrated our Christmas party with our teachers here with me on Sunday, December 29th. but I don't really think we have a had a party this year. Dear all, pray that Rupen may be stronger, he coughs and don’t speak, and often has a headache, but he still helps me with what he can. I think he does not get the soldier service, since he has his mother and is the only child. Also pray that the Lord will help in that matter.

One thing is very special to me, and all my friends must also pray for it. We need a warm spirit-filled evangelist - a native could well be; who could travel around and evangelize around all the many, many villages in the Much area, and who could begin to work among the young men of Musch. If the Lord would give us means for it and show us the right one. Would you like to pray for it? A woman of the bible for Musch is also much needed.

We are at peace here now, thank God, so you do not have to be afraid for us. For a while, it looked threatening enough, but the storm passed. The post we have, despite the war, got pretty regular. Dr. Zanrieff is gone again, so I have many sick ones and a lot of opportunities to help, to talk to them and visit the homes, if only there would be more time.

Many loving greetings with Heb. 12. 2. 3 from

yours devoted
