tions] are having considerable difficulties and are
 involved in lawsuits. We wouldn't say that the Lord
 sent the other missionaries ahead of us for our bene-
 fit, but we hope that we will profit by their difficulties.
 We still hope to get a government grant of land
 in a slum area which is being cleaned up and where
 we have quite a group of members.
CIUDAD TRUJILLO, DMINICAN REPUBLIC
Sept. 13-We're having a really good change and vacation.
 Ciudad Trujillo is very interesting-just about
 like a U.S. city with a Spanish accent-very much
 like San Juan, Puerto Rico. They have an interesting
 museum with relics from the times of Columbus and
 Indian relics that date before that. James Beaty,
 whom we're staying with, has found some very old
 Indian pottery right here on this land in the country
 where their house is built. The palace that Colum-
 bus' son built is still standing in a state of ruin. And
 we saw the tomb of Columbus in the cathedral which
 is the oldest in the New World. The cathedral was
 very interesting-we went all over the place.
 When we get back to Haiti, we're really going to
 be busy. I've got a lot of visitation to do, planning
 for Dr. Vanderpool's visit, and the Bible school be-
 ginning in the first part of October. But we have
 things planned out roughly. In a way we are looking
 forward to it all. When we get the Bible school actual-
 ly started, we'll feel like we have at last gotten some-
 thing worth while started. There is nothing that is
 needed more.
 The Lord has His way of working out things.
