DAVID, MIKE, AMY. JENNY, RON

In December we were blessed with a visit from our

loved ones from home. Both of our parents, Ron's grand mother, and my two brothers were able to spend Christmas
with us. Time was so short, and flew by so quickly, that before we knew it they were gone. We were so happy that they were able to see the work and the way we live
in Zambia.

I cannot close without expressing my appreciation for the many sacrificial gifts you send us. We appreciate the fine support, both prayer support and financial support, that so many of you people give. Thank you so very
much.

As he explained his Christian Literacy and Evangelism program to us, I knew

Because he is young and un-married, Moses does

not command the respect of the village Elders. For this reason he is facing great difficulties. He is a very willing worker and one who shows great

to secure Mr. Exodus Muleya, an English medium teacher, from his government teaching post for two and a half days. We worked from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. Before Mr. Rice had to leave the basic course was set up. Mr. Muleya and I would finish the Tonga sentences and Mr. Rice would complete the phonetic syllable drills in
the States.

Furlough Plans Announced

The Sapp family will be arriving in the USA in September 1971. Ron is tentatively planning to enter Lincoln Christian Seminary for one semester of graduate study in Missions. Already several speaking dates have been filled. If you would like to see and hear a report from the Sapps when they are on furlough write to Ron at P. O. Box 128, Livingstone, Zambia. Send all correspondence AIR MAIL.

In August, Mr. Muleya finished the sentences. The entire literacy course is now being completed by Mr. Rice. It will be in use before we come home on furlough in 1971.
AMY'S SISTER PASSES AWAY

Many of you were able to see Amy and Mike when they were in the states to see Sherry (Pickerell) Price (Amy's sister) three weeks before her untimely death October 19. The trip, paid for by personal funds, was fast and furious. Gone only one month, they spent most of the time with Sherry in Omaha, Nebraska. They visited Amy's parents in Colorado and my folks in Norfolk, Ne braska. Amy spoke at a few places during her
visit.

We were happy when the family was united again upon Amy and Mike's safe return.
