Nov. 21-It is very difficult to extract financial data
 from Mr. E--, or any exact statistical data. When
 we do not get the desired information one time we try
 another approach and a second or third time. I believe
 it is largely because he does not understand exactly
 what information we are after. I'm sure that he
 suspects our motives to some extent, and hence he
 is somewhat "cagey" about giving us personal in-
 formation even when he does understand what we
 want to some extent.
 It takes so long to do everything here. Scarcely
 anyone goes by the clock-or calendar for that
 matter.
 It will be a long, hard road ahead for many years
 before a thorough foundation can be rebuilt here.
 But we know that this is the Lord's work, and His
 interest in it far exceeds ours. We know that we are
 depending on One who will not fail.
Nov. 24-Activities which we hope to begin in the near
 future: A Bible training school or program for our
 preachers; a literacy campaign in every congregation
 (to teach the people to read Creole), and the pro-
 duction of printed aids in Creole (for Sunday School
 and church). This may seem like a big program,
 but we read in Luke 1:37, "With God nothing shall
 be impossible"!
Nov. 25-There is a Haitian fable that all Americans
 are made of money!
 The work here could blow up at any time accord-
 ing to the disposition of Mr. E- But in view of
 his actions and attitudes in the past, we do not be-
 lieve that this is probable. But Mr. E-- is a very
 difficult person to figure out; he is a Haitian, but in
 addition he has some personality quirks of his own.
 We are, however, depending on the Lord for wisdom
 and guidance-and He is helping us.
