ing with my time. The Council
gave me three assignments: l.
Learn Sesotho (wouIdn't my form
er students enjoy witnessing m y
struggles with first-grade reading
books?). 2. Teach in the Bib le
School which is being organized
here at Arthruseat Station in Feb
ruary. 8. Act as Assistant Youth
Director. Marjorie Peel, with whom
I am living, is the Director, and SO
the two of us work together in
Visiting schools to conduct Religi-
Gus Education classes, sup.e rv s.
ing youth and children's groups
Vacation Bible Schools, Y on t h
Camps, etc.
Right now Marjorie and / ar e
living in a converted garage, store
room, and work-girls' house but
that is not quite as bad as it
sounds. 1t is comfortable with plen-
ty of windows for circulation of
air. We are praying for new
home, and the Council voted to
ask for one for us. With the Bible
| School coming here, we at Arth-
urseat are little cramped f o r
living quarters, since the Soencers
and Dayhoffs are coming. to oc-
eupy the two available dwellings at
the first of the year.
This brings me to the second
purpose of the letter very
Merry land white) Christmas and
a Happy New Year to you all. The
Nationals are getting plans made
for a Christmas Feast, and tn e
Missionaries are thinking ahead to
the usual plans: a combination of
the Acornhoek and Arthurseat sta
tons for both Thanksgiving n d
Christmas dinners.
i Some of you have asked me to
describe all the things that e
different from what | expected
but that. is rather hard to do. Ac-
tually there is such wealth of
information available in the States
that / have not yet seen anything
unexpected. OF course, customs are
different; scenery is unbelievably
beautiful; food is different; an
since this is sub-tropical climate,
that requires certain amount of
adjustment; yet all these things
have been so carefully document
| ed by missionaries who 8 ow
slides, and by authors of books
and writers of TV programs, that
actually one knows just about what
to expect upon arrival. 1t is to be
understood that as / begin my
work among the Outstation
Churches that it will be quite diff
ferent from what I have seen in
this immediate area but I have
felt very keenly since my arrival
the innate courtesy of the Bantu.
AS we drive down over the last
high mountain before reaching this
| station, we can look out over an
immense valley in which it is es-
timated there are 10000 people
scattered about in kraals many
of whom will never have any con-
tact with the gospel of Jesus
Christ unless the Church of h e
Nazarene brings the message to
them. This is my field of labor,
for while at least | have felt
your prayers upholding me in these
days of adjustment, and I appreci-
ate that more than words can ever
express but may / make one
request? Will you never pray for
me without also praying for h e
Sesotho-speaking people who ar e
my responsibility? (Sesotho is pro-
nounced ASee-Soo-too'D. / cannot
In my own strength do any one of
my three assignments, but Il can
do all things through Christ which
strengthen me-" Please help m e
pray.
May the Lord richly bless you
during the coming holiday season,
and in the year which follows. Sim
cerely in Christ, Rose Handloser."
