Our friends arrived from furlough and it was such a joy to open everyone's cards here on the other side of the world! And we await the box you all so lovingly put togetherl! We love and miss you all!

• From Sis. Sally Blunier - Thank you so very much for the birthday cards I received for my 95th birthday.  I appreciated it very much.  I have lived quite a few years and have seen a lot of things happen.  One thing is certain, God is always there and does provide.  One thing I like to remember is “If you can’t have the best of everything, make the best of everything you have!”  I appreciate your thoughtfulness and May God bless!  A least one - 

• From Leslie Wettstein - I want to thank all my christian friends who prayed for my recovery from my recent surgery and brought me meals, came caroling and the youth for a bag of fruit.   I am so blessed to have christian friends who have love and concern for me.  I am doing well now and I know many prayers have been answered and I feel the Lord's presence every day. In Christian Love and with much appreciation - Thanks again and the Lord Bless You All.
