eral Assembly time in Kansas City when the General
Board will meet.
 Yesterday I went to see a lawyer about register-
ing my power of attorney with the Haitian government
and getting everything fixed up so that we may safely
begin to buy land and build. He didn't think it would
be too difficult to fix it up since we had not yet
bought property and there were no complications. He
is also going to check on our standing with the De-
partment of Religion regarding E- We will try
to get all of these official matters cleared up as soon
as possible.
 This week I've been working on Bible school ma-
terial I wrote an English missionary in Paris to ask
him to help find us good books for the Bible school
in French.
 Right now I'm working out a course on the life
of Christ, using a Gospel harmony as the basis of
the study. The second part of the course will be on
the teachings of Jesus. I'm having a lot of fun, but
it takes time. But I guess it's a good way to learn
French. I have Captain Egger check everything and
that way I learn by my mistakes. Another thing we
want to do before the new missionaries come (we
hope, we hope) is to work hard on our French some
more. When we get moved to Gonaives we'll not
have much time for study for the first year because
we'll have lots to do to get things reorganized. We
can already speak Creole about as well as many of
the other missionaries, but we don't have enough
ability or confidence with French. We can both read
French okay; it's the speaking and writing we need
to improve.

so ago from Dr. Vanderpool saying that he "painted
our picture with black paint." But he and Dr. Rehfeldt
