Rodney

and

I are very

appreciative

of a l l that the Myrtle Point

church

family did to

make

the urainatlon

service

for

Marx L.

so

special .

w o u l d b e

Mark's 44th birthday. P icture Maysel

serving breakfast

and

eight

of us all

talking

and asking questions and no one l istening

i t

seemed). The day ahead meant

going

into S a l t i l l o ,

gett ing

Berenice

to

her

school

and arranging for the math t e s t tha t bugged her

a l l

summer

The

suburban

needed t o

be

unloaded,

Mark

needed t o pay t h e

landlady

the

rent and once the

word was

out that they were

home

they

needed to expect a l l of the people who would arr ive and have e i t h e r

c o l d l emonade , K o o l - a i d o r i c e d

t e a

t o s e r v e .

I decided t h a t if I

wanted

to

enjoy

a re run o f

a c t i v it i e s a t

Myrtle Point I

had to

wait

and

go v i s i t

Berenice and

Ana

Silvia

Northrup

when

they

weren' t

so

busy.

So I

did. I t

was

great

They

gave me

a very

descr ipt ive account of where

they s l e p t , where

they

went, Whowas Who i n c l u d i n g the

S t e r r e t t family dog.

I heard how

well Cathy

speaks

Spanish and even how Mike now and then competed

in

t r a n s l a t i n g . Besides

a f u l l

acount

of

food:

pizza , an

authentic

Mexican

r e s t a u r a n t , hot dogs,

b a r b e c u e . . . t h e y

even included t e l l i n g

me that Sheila

Maysel Northrup^asked

Joe

for a bowl of cereal and

this required a telephone cal l to get

it

a l l

unscrambled

before

Sheila

got

her cereal. (They laughed and held

their

stomachs on that

oneJ) Besides a wonderful time a t

the

beach, a t r i p into the Redwood

conversat ions using

their

English

(which should have improved

as

muc

talking as

they

did),

Berenice

was especially appreciative

of

the^

help Joe

gave her

preparing for her

math t e s t .

We are a l l

rejoicing

with

her

that

she

passed

the

test

Thanks

Joe,

for

your

share

in the

results

Although Rodney and I would have

enjoyed

being a t the Ordination servi

for Mark L. Northrup,

we

look forward eventually to seeing a video

of

the

s e r v i c e . Also

if t h e r e i s still a copy o f the program we would

l i k e

t o have one f o r

our album.

Las t L o r d s

Day

when

a

5 t h

Sunday

service

of

the congregat ions was held on Rancho Altamira,

we

had Mark

L

family

for

dinner.

W e got to talk about Myrtle

and wish Rodney

Happy

Birthday. Magdalena

made

the cake

for

Rodney. (His 70th).

the

Great

in effect.

Fernando

has

held

enthusias

evangelistic campaigns in the southern half of Chile clear to the tip

they l ive

had 11

families

by

July 19th

when

7

more were baptized. Fernando in

his

plans wants to have a leadership

training center and

will

need

helpers

for that.

One

convert of Germa

heritage

has given 2

hectares

of land,

one

part of which leads down t

a

river

where Salmon

swim

by.
