GOING HOMEAs I v;restle suitcases for the thousandth? time, I
often think of when I can unpackour things and place xncm in our
6vyn Ibd ging.There are many things tugging homewardthe desire to
again enjoy our temperate climate, the expected arrival of another
Asseln, the most of al l , the desire to again be aboutthe Lord's
business in the Puget Sound area.The Lord and His people have
blessed us on our journey, and we are thankful, but weare looking
forward to returning to Tacoma on June l6th, -Joan- ASSELN
FOLLOV/ING THE V/EATHSRV/hile traveling we ate supper one
evening a t Cherokee, lov/a and drove on. The nextday Cherokee v/as
f looded,V/e spent several weeks in V/inona, Minnesota, on the
Mississippi, Flood stage is 15feet, and the river reached almost 21
feet, but the people worked and erected dikes whichsaved- the
city.17e vis ited relat ives in Minneapolis, Minnesota the day
after tornadoes hit that area.One came v/ithin six blocks of my
cousin's home,V/e have come through flood, drought and tornado and
been in the midst of severe elect r ic storms, but . we praise God
for our safety.
A LITTLE SHORT _ _It has boen difficult to ansv/er questions
concerning the results of our trip, becausemany congregations
figure their budgets annually and may include our work in t he
future.At tae present time v;e aro receiving 200 monthly, which
only takes care of our personal expenses. Another ^p75 month is
needed for housing, (Editor's Note: Since whenwould ?275 te a
living vrage? For four people? Surely the churches can do better
than thati )There are other expenses, such as materials and
equipment for teaching, and correspondence. Please continue to pray
for our needs. -Bill-ASSELN(Editor s Note: Asselns safely back to
begin service June 15> after car throws rod in Illinois,BATSON'S

PRAISE HIMSome of you have known of the many ear infections our
11 year-old Joel has had thispast year. We finally got the last one
cXoared up and then took him to an ear specialist.He advised an
immediate ton&iloctomy so Joel got out of school early Surgery
v/as this pastTuesday and we give thanks to the Great Physician for
Joel's good health.MARRIED?No, i t was not Cheryl Augenstine who
got married but a girl from one of the families inthe church. Our
turn will surely come soon enovgh^ p/\J AUGENSTINEAs th e month
goes by there are ten thousand things that pass through our minds
that we v/antto share w ith you vrhen the paper comes out and then
at t he deadl ine, . you guessed i t atotal blank. Some people have
total recall and I have total forgetfullness. Beside our act ivi t
ies with the Mission vm have been helping to get Pleasant Valley
camp ready for i ts summer activities. I t s a rough it type of
camp but our boys and girls enjoyed sharing thef a c i l i t i e s
along v;ith the other churches of the area.V e are s t i l l in
great need of your prayers in our building program. The Lord has
openeddoors of opportunity but we need wisdom as to how to enter
into them. [)0N AUGENSTINE
