REWS LETTER FROM J L O I S
REES
Dear Co-Helpers and Fellow-Workers
in
th e b lood s tre am o f eternal life^
I
arrived
home February 4^ 1972 i n
almost
a
s t a t e o f shockcultural
shock.
Rowmy
furlough time is over There have been some outstanding once in a
l if et ime f ea
tures.
One o f these features i s YOUwe'll come to
tha t loder.
My
f i r s t grandchild^
Sandra Rees_ daughter
of
Warren and Marie, whom I visited.^_ometi^^M _
March was one year
old.
A truly charming and loveci)le character I
assure
you. Rext the
graduation o f
Warren from Atlanta Christ ian
College
was one I
shal l not f orge t. Rext,
on a
hot
May night I sa t and watched Lois Kathleen, my only daughter, graduate from Logan, Iowa,
High School where, she had gone for 3 years. She also received a small award. Following
this
was
her
wedding
to
a
fellow
high school
senior
on December
23,
1971.
His
name
i s
Kenneth Grosvenor of this area.
I t
was a beautiful candlelight
service,
with th e brides
maids
carrying
l i t t l e lamps and the whole party fac ed th e
audience.
At
the
wedding
and
Christmas our
entire
family was together
but
Emrys who was near
the
war
zone in India, but
not in
any immediate danger. David was able
to come
home
for the
wedding
because he took the money his fa the r left him and
was
able to get a half-price ticket. This
will
nearly finish^^^^^^^^pirmghxyief^of
197 on which
he
had
short changed himself.
This has
really
b^^>.{U ery wonderful your help extended, in getting
more
increased
regular income ana '^m^ for^'vhe hospital. Row don't forget us when we are gone
- - - - Thank you
THARKS TO YOU FROM ME
Thank you
is
such a common word
I t s message i s often scarcely heard.
I
want
you
to
know
what it
means to
me
I^lL^t^y to mcdte it~AAkad;-it~oi 'ht to~he
Here goes
I wake, I think, I
pray,
I blink and then
Father you know how much I
want to
be
yours
alone and what I do for you, I 'm
unworthy I know
that .
I'm on unworthy
steward doing only
what's
asked, o f me
But give
me
th e
p e t i t i o n s I
ask, to
make
your
work grow
and
be
glory
to
Christ
and
to uphold
Hi s
name.
Bless
those
dear
souls
who help us on
the
wmj. Oh, God, thank you for moving your
children to
be
so kind, to
give us
shelter,
comfort,
to help
them
drop
t h e i r own work
and. waxfs and take me
where
I want to qo . .
Bless them Lo rd and help them know it i s
your wil l
tha t
they
should know the yoy o f
sharing burdens as I do, and
for
those
who
added
to their familyChrist's
body Oh,
help me be worthy of and use wisely, every
penny
given. May it
be
to your
glorynot
MIREa
Often.before I go to bed I lay and wonder:
How
did we ever get
through
this busy day,
I w o n d e r
Many
hands
make
my
work
nice
Your expense saved me th e
price.
Your gas and
t i res
given
sweetly
Made my
expense
so
more
neatly.
Your beds so warm
and happil y g iven
Makes my day
worth
l iv 'en.
Your money in
the
offering plate
Made i t possible for us to gonot wait.
Mispah and Love,
J L o i s Rees
Lois arrived safely in India
on
January
23, 1972. Below
are
excerpts
from
her r ec en t
letters
First
of
allwedding
preparations
for
Bana. Emyrs was
also
here with me
to
help,
and
along with a virus
infection
I receivedall the help needed. Tonight I
am
in
our hospital
sitting
on a very hard pebbly
floor
writing on a rope
strand
bed. Very
prickly,
hut I am
not
suffering
from that but from
heatand bed
bugs
The people here
are
so afraid I l l starve. They keep bringing me food and drink just after
I have eaten. I
decided to
eat
or
drink some of the curd sent over to me by a
villager.
Uell, I wondered why
it
was so brown and I started to
s ti r i t
I found a
piece
o f r a t
manure. The
spoonful
and a half I had eaten gave
me
painall psychological
of course
I hope I'm not ruining your
appetite
or soaring you. I
am
sure I will
live
all right.
I v e survived twenty- five years and plus
o f
such.
I'm
on the grounds
to
see the
door
frames put into the hospital
building, but
no masons
came
because i t is
election
day.
Re
will be
having inspection of the
work and
of the
workers
next
week. Also, I
learned yesterday
that
a Leprosy
official
will
come.
;
Everyone was
afraid
for me
to sleep
here, but I just pointed towards heaven and back to
myself and I
finally
convinced them
to
go. Unfortunately,
there
is a language barrier here.
The kinds of
visitors
I
occasionally
haveas
there
are no doors or floors,
and t he bage ls
are
openare l izards, r a t s and cobras. . . . and
possibly
a
bear.
