Finding enough time for everything is a problem
here because it takes so much longer to do everything.
We haven't gotten as much out of our French lessons
as we ought because we haven't had enough time to
study. And we seem to require a little more sleep
which shortens the evenings. We also usually try to
take a little nap after lunch too; if we don't we some-
times get a headache in the later afternoon. We
try not to walk in the sun for a very long time around
noon; that also gives a headache. We hope that we
will soon get acclimated so that we can be a little
more energetic.
 We now have four African violet plants.
 We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new
jeep. We are anxious to get out into the country and
see what the other churches and preaching points
are like, so we can have a better idea of the total
work and need here.
 We now may order an accordion. A man in Ohio
gives missionaries a special offer of $175 for any of
his accordions up to around $500, so we are getting
a letter off to him tomorrow with a $175 check from
our equipment fund. I am already working on ideas
of accordion arrangements. [Paul and Mary are ex-
cellent musicians.]
 Really Haiti is a very small country; you can
drive to any point from P.-au-P. in a day or less.
 We would especially like some good tomato seeds.
Man! but we'd like to sink a fang into a juicy, home-
grown tomato! The soil here is quite rocky, but some
of it is fairly rich. We can hire a boy to dig it up for
a very cheap price.
 We had a good service at church this am. It
seems that two services are almost too much for us
to take now. After the four services of the conference
for the national preachers, I was just about done-up.
