    Belated congratulations to the Southview Church

    blessed the

    Japanese

    church thru their

    generosity.

    Two months is such

    a

    short time

    for a

    Stateside visit.

    However we thoroughly enjoyed being with family members and

    especially

    the

    children and

    grandchildren. We spoke

    to

    eight

    different groups

    of Christians, joined in

    the

    Cent

    ral Japan Mission's yearly

    meeting,

    and enjoyed personal

    visits

    with no

    less than

    32

    long-time friends.

    Our

    plane

    touched down

    in

    Freddie met

    us

    there

    at

    the

    airport on our way back to

    Japan. We caught

    up

    on a

    lot

    of

    visiting

    in that one hour.

    The yearly meeting

    of Central

    Japan Christian

    Mission

    was held

    at Indianapolis, Ind. on August 25th

    with eight

    members

    present.

    Paul and

    Kathleen

    gave a

    'state

    of

    the

    were

    both

    re-elected to

    three-year terms as Trustee-Directors. Tim

    and Lisa Turner

    previously

    listed

    as

    'recruits'

    were

    in

    stalled

    as 'Field Directors* with voting power along with

    the other directors. Paul and Kathleen were given the

    'green light'

    Dear friends,

    So

    much

    has happened

    since

    our last Epistle.

    On

    November 26th we received

    two

    telephone calls from

    In

    dianapolis. The

    first brought the sad news of the

    pa

    ing of Kathleen's older brother, Cecil

    and

    of

    Bobby's

    being taken to emergency with difficulty

    in breathing

    Within an

    hour the

    call came telling us that he, too,

    had

    passed

    away. Within the next 26 hours we were

    on

    way

    Stateside. So

    we were

    able

    to make

    it

    for both

    t
