STOLL FAMILY TO FLY HOME FOR CHHrSIMAS AND ID BEGIN THIRD FITHLOUGH
Dear friends,
Einma and I and our children have complet^jd our third tern of missionary service at Mashoko Mission and are planning to fly to the States in time for family Christinas reunions. This third teim has been so short; probably because we were
so busy in the work we love! Ihe mission station is a beiahive of Christian work
and witnesss and we leave it behind with considerable reluctance. But the joy of seeing dear friends and embracing home and family after such a long separation is truly exciting. Flight plans call for us to arrive in Indianapolis on Sunday, December 22. Ihe following day we hope to drive to Emma's home in Lebahon, Ohio, and join her family of parents, eight brothers sind sisters and their husbands and wives, and 16 nieces and nephews for a wonderful Christmas. Sometime that week we will travel to Rolla, Missouri, to see my folks; and then move back to Lebanon, Ohio, to make our tenporary home and put Barry, Tim, and Jane into school to complete
the year.
I would like to begin visiting our supporting churches in February and telling
eveiyone the thrilling story of the Gospel impact in the heart of Africa. be with you till we meet again.
In Christian love.
May God

Bmma Stoll and Mrs. Betty Pender of Fort Victoria Mission spent two days in October typing stencils and running the mimeograph to publish the annual school magazine. It was a big job. Ihe magazine consisted of reports, stories, and poems written by
students.
Spring rains were just beginning at this writing and the countryside around the mis sion was beginning to blossom forth new life. African farmers began to plow their fields that the rains might soak down deep. It is a beautiful time of year in Rhodesia.
