Called Mr. Jack Scott, whose mother-in-law we
 had met in Kansas last spring. He invited us to his
 lovely home for dinner that night and we gave him
 the "third degree" with our questions all evening.
 Among other things he suggested that we check
 with the immigration office as soon as possible for
 obtaining a residence visa, which the New Orleans
 consul said we could obtain without any difficulty
 after we arrived.
Oct. 5-At the immigration office we were told that the
 consul should have obtained a residence visa for us
 before we left the U.S.A. Have written the minister
 of foreign affairs to straighten things out. Have also
 written the minister of religion to check on the official
 standing of our church with the government.
 So, at least we have the slow-moving machinery
 in motion.
 This coming Sunday is the day for presidential
 election. Our hotel is just across the street from the
 presidential palace and other government buildings.
 We may have a box seat for the fireworks-political
 or otherwise.
 Yesterday afternoon we found E--'s address on
 a map and went to visit him. E-- claimed that he
 was at the airport at the time we arrived and waited
 until two more flights had come later that afternoon.
 [Later they learned that Mr. E-- had thought they
 were to arrive on October 2 instead of October 3.]
 We had a good time of fellowship and prayer with
 him and his brother. It took us a few minutes to
 accustom ourselves to his "English," but we under-
 stood his spirit from the start.
 To date we have spent $241.52 of the $250 for
 travel expense. In Shreveport we held five services,
 one on Haiti.
