One of the most memorable thinti:s this year. Ilulilla Lec Ijison and Kobert Dale mson celebrated ^heir 20th %veddirig amiiversayy. My lovely brido having endured na for tvo decades docs not need "he word of any Oii-.n to recoircnerid her. She stands recoiTBttendcd by hor wm charaotor in a sphere far above any lofty vjorda of Lian# I was invited by A1 Crrahan to visit his india.r> tribe. Al and Sue have boon working with this people for 13 years, translating the Bible into the Indian language. Joyco and I went into the tribe and wliile there I was invited to baptize the chief vhp in turn bapti>iod 47 other peSpls. This was a heart thuiiping exper&OBCc for mo to reti rn to a peop!le that I had visited six years before and sec then bom
into the kin,^.;um. I am enclosing a reoorb of a trip that David Bayless and I rx'.de to Honduras to visit with Oeorge Paterson. V/e went to see ho?i he was able to raise up 40 churches during a 3 year period. He taught us v.'ell and since, the trip we have boon laying the ground -.-ork to try to reduplicate this in Brazil. I have been traiislating fro:-!Spanish the training texts that G-eorgs has written. Kuey hau boo*, doin;^ soziie of the

less has been invited to Bogata, Columbia to hold a seminar vjiththe jnissionaries there. V<e have had a number of letters of inquiry and several missionaries have visited us here to gain inforj.uition about what we are trying to do. I thank you for your interest in us as a family and for the kind invitation to share some of the high Lights of otir life this Icist year. X pray thut oiie Lord will bless you in you mission oinphasis time there and that the Lordjo \vork through out the w )rld ^-Jill be blessed through you, as we have bee/;. lassed through you*

Wc Yiould like to thai-Uc you for your prayerful and financial aupporo for bho Seasons# Their income has dropped this year and it is telling ar- they dip into the house fund to pay bills.
