OCTOBER, 1984

Dear Supporters,

Greetings in the name of our Lord, Master, Creator. We are praising His name forthe beauty of the earth. This is the first time in twenty two years thatHenrietta has seen the changing colors of the leaves and she is reveling in theirbeauty.

'Of course we are blessed by visiting with friends and loved ones across the country.I The missionary convention in Phoenix was a challenge and a blessing to all thosepresent as we witnessed the parade of missionaries past the microphone from all corners of the globe and the response to the appeal for new mission recruits. We met ourdaughter Lora there with a group of other students from Ozark Bible College. Then sherode back with us to Joplin. We had a good visit on the way. She was so busy there wwith classes, making up the lessons she missed, and work that we hardly saw her inJoplin except at meal times.

We have visited all our immediate family members—saw for the first time two granddaughters—Amy and beta's youngest ones. All are well except that Amy's oldest hasmany food allergies and it keeps Amy busy finding and preparing things that she cansafely eat.

As we write we are almost at the mid-point of our furlough having spoken at churchesin Kansas, Missouri, and are now in Indiana. We are staying at Kokomo at a friend'shome who is on vacation and are visiting friends we have known all our lives.

We have heard that a young couple has been baptized into the Lord at the PaloloValley Church since we left, but have no other news from there.

The Lord willing, we will stay in Indiana until the end of October, be in Joplin fora few days, and then go to western Kansas for two weeks to participate in twoschools of missions. Several churches cooperate and have a different mission speakerfor six nights in a row from Sunday through Friday. Each missionary speaks in adifferent church each night, so we will be visiting 12 different congregations.Then we will drive to San Jose and spend Thanksgiving with our children on the coast.We plan to be back in Hawaii by the end of November.

We are grateful for the warm hospitality and sincere greetings we have experiencedin every church, and for their zeal for the Lord and His work.

We are also grateful for several generous gifts for our furlough fund, but we will beunable to give an accounting until we go home and get our figures accumulated.Further gifts may be sent to the "mission at our home address.

May the Lord bless your efforts and ours as we labor in His vineyard.

Your co-worker for Christ,

P.S. Our friend, John Page, has been handling the printing and mailing of our newsletter for us for a number of years. This makes it possible for you to get the newsmore quickly since third class mail from the islands travels by boat and sometimestakes a month to get on a boat and be delivered. It also relieves us of much work.However, he is NOT our forwarding agent. Contributions should be sent directly tothe mission address in Honolulu.

Mele Kalikimakai Christmas greetings in the name of the ChristChild God's best Gift to man—He who brings happiness, hope, andheaven to all of us who follow Him. May you have a blessed holiday season.

As we write we are just finishing an eleven weekhaving driven just under 8000 miles, and makingthe Lord's work in Hawaii, the last 18 times ingreat convention in Phoenix. We were graciouslyChristian families in California, New Mexico, MiIndiana. We spent a few days with each of our ftwo granddaughters for the first time. Mark tooktelescope through the window of the clean room aarray of electronic equipment with which he work

speaking tour,35 presentations of14 days. It was aentertained by warm

ssouri, Kansas, andive children and saw

us to see the sapcet Lockheed and thes.

One of our most interesting experiences and one worthy of imitationwas in two Schools of Missions in southwest Kansas. Groups of churches have a six-night school with a different mission presentationeach night. We spoke in a different church each night, usually traveling 20 to 30 miles each day—never more than 80 miles. Each churchprovided meals and overnight housing for the speakers and in turnthey were challenged by hearing about the world's needs.

We visited relatives and friends that we had not-seen for a longtime. For the most part we spent only a few days in each city butspent almost a month in the Mose Williams home in Kokomo, IN whilewe were reporting to churches there. Most of our support comes fromthat area.

Our hearers were concerned about the lost in Hawaii and the progressreport of the work there. They were especially happy to learn thatthe Palolo Valley congregation is now entirely self-supporting.They hired a third pre-school teacher just before we left. Thismeans that we are freed of obligation at Palolo and we can pursueother avenues of service. We will be moving in a few months fromthe apartment on the Palolo property and will be looking for a houseor apartment to rent or buy, probably near the Waipahu Church wherewe are now teaching and preaching. Of course, this means extrafunds will be needed to cover the additional expenses.

But first comes the mammoth task of consolidating possessions, anddisposing of tools, books, and other items that have been accumulatedover the past twenty-two years and are no longer needed. This willprobably take several months while we wait for the Lord to lead us tojust the right location to best accomplish His purpose.

May the Lord guide us all into a safe and useful 1985, as we seek Hiswill in our lives. HAUOLI MAKAHIKI HOU (Happy New Year).

Yours in His service,

Charles and Henrietta Luttrell
