April 1994

Dear Lori and Licia,

I really enjoyed the letters I received from both of you this week. It means so much to me that you took the time to write. Agape should begin flying again soon, and we are hopeful that we will receive some boxes in the mail. Another plane arrived recently and brought 900 pounds of boxes. The phone is also working again! The first call we received was from Uncle Phillip, and they were able to talk for about an hour.

How was the Easter service at church? Did you get to see people you haven’t seen in a while? How was the worship service?

Dad and I are going to begin holding Sunday morning services at the school where Casey attends. I wrote to Debbie and asked her to send some materials from Faith Farm that we can use. The kids here are truly hungry for God.

Thank you for sending your school papers. I love reading them and hearing your stories. Please keep sending them! I would also love to know what classes you will be taking next semester.

How is the weather there? Has it been snowing?

I have been cleaning out rooms here one at a time—deep cleaning, organizing, and getting rid of things we no longer need. I have also been working at the clinic, cleaning and making lists of supplies and improvements to help things function better each day.

I would like to start afternoon classes for the children—maybe separate classes for girls and boys of different ages. They have been asking for this, and I know they would really enjoy it.

I pray you are both doing well. I miss you very much and hope we can be together again soon.
