This weekend (written Novem
ber 16th) Harry
and I
travel
by
flight to Fort Wayne, where we
will
e
spending four
days
with
the
Hoosiers of Indiana. We
will be
looking forward to
spending
our time sharing with
the northern states
this
win
ter. Last
year
during
the
niontlis of
October, November and
December
we
were in Georgia and
Florida; so this will be
Harry's
very first time in the
_ prior to t ' i t i
sure
he
will
enjoy the sleds
and
toboggans
as
well as l i e
did
the
surfljoards,
T f i i s
is
an
especially
impor
tant time of
year
because this
January
marks
the second year
that
Harry has
been
with me.
He's
not much bigger than l i e
was
when we
first started trav
eling together;
but
he's much
more talkative -- which isn't
always good
Since December is the
month
we are reminded of
Jesus'
birth
more than
others, I
want
to
wish
you a
very
happy
month, I
appreciate those of you who
keep
writing
Harry and
me
regu
larly, especially young people,
and I
want you to
keep
us in
your
prayers
because we appre
ciate t l \ e m so much. Harry wants
to wish you a very MERRY
CHRISTMAS, After all, l i o w many
dummies do*
you
know t t i c T t Travff
wished
you
a Merry
Christmas
personally?
P.S. Harry would appreciate it
if you wouldn't use maple in
your fireplace this winter. It
gives him
a headache
just
thinking about
it

The air time
cost
for
this broadcast
on
Radio
Monaco will be
the
same
as
what
we have
been paying
for the
Polish broadcast
on
this
same
station for several years —
$62
per week (15 minutes). In
making a
comparison, this
is
only about one third of wliat
we
were
paying R adio Luxembourg
when we had to
drop the
program
Mary Frances and
Charles
Phipps
from that station. We
belie've
the additional
$42
per
week
needed to
cover
the air time on
Radio
Monaco
(as compared to
Radio MAjNX, whicii is $20 per
week) will be well worth it.

Treasuvev Harold Hilee was
very
h a p ' p y to write the oheaks
which paid off
our
loans.
In the last issue of LISTEN
we
did
mention
that the loan
for
the GBM
press is completely
PAID
UPc
However, I
think
we
should mention
that
the
Ona-
laska Church of Christ (Chris
tian
Chapel) invested over $800
in the press to
make
a
quicker
payoff possible. Christian
Chapel liouses
the
press
and
will be reaping some benefits
from
the
use
of
the
press, and
rightly so. Thanks again to
ALL
who invested in this
equipment
for the work
of
God's kingdom.
The
1972 GliM
Ford is also
PAID
IN
FULL. It now has
60,000
miles on it, but is in
good
working condition. It has
been
a
real blessing to this
labor.
THANKS
to ALL
who
have
given to our general fund to
pay it off.

have come and with them
your many
prayers and
your
generous
gifts all of which
have
helped
us
through this particular trying
time.
I
can't answer
all of yotir
letters personally as
yet, so please
accept this printed "thank
you"
until I can
get back
into the
swing of
the office
routine.
I am just
about
finished
with
the first
series of
cobalt treat
ments
and
then
the
Doctors will decide whether
I
need
further
series or not. The temperature has been
in the high
ninties
for days now and the
trip to
Rome each
day
for
my
treatment
has
been rather
trying.
There is no
place closer that gives
this
therapy
so
about
five
hours a day are spent
on
the round trip
and
treatment.
The
Lord
has
been so
good
in
caring
for both
of
us in many,
many
ways. Charles has been burdened with
much
extra
work
be
cause
of
my inability
to
work
in
the office but he
has
been
strengthened and lifted by
your
prayers.
Please
keep praying
aind caring and thank you
for all you
have
done
on
our behalf.

>A%ts
j a p p e q i n g . . .
It has been
a
long time since you have had a letter from us but
ve
know
you
understand
all the
reasons.
Mary Frances
is
not able to
use
her arm
very much
and both the surgeon
and
medical
doctor
said that typing was
one
of
the worst things
she
could do. This has limited her office
work
a
great deal. She will
have
new X-rays made the second week in January
and the
suirgeon
said
it
was very likely she will have to have more cobalt
treatments.
However,
we praise the Lord that
they
are available.
X
am getting along
very well, limping
instead
of running,
but
my
ankle
where
the worst breaks were has mended
very
well as
did
the shin bone.
I
have finished
with the
therapy treatments
which I
had
to take
to re
educate the muscles that lay dormant
for
84 days while I was in the
casts. I
cannot
flex
my
foot fully which causes the limp. It
will
no
doubt
be a
permanent
limp
but
the Lord was
so
good
to send
the blessings
which He did
and
saved me from many worse things
that
could have
happened
We
have asked
"Why"?
all
of
these
trials
came but we have
seen
a
real
growth
among the
Christians when they
had to take
a lot
of the respon
sibility to
see
that the services were conducted and so on. Giuseppe
and Rosetta
have
been
burdened with much of the work since
Maz^y
Frances
and I have
been limited, but they
have done everything
so
willingly and
with
such dedication
that
it has been
beautiful
to see.
The
radio response, now
that we
are
on
Trans World
Radio, has
been
in
creasingly encouraging. We do thank the
Lord
for this opportunity
to
get His Word out to the people in Europe
who speak
and/or "understand
English.
We are
so
thankful that through these many difficulties the
Lord
has pro
vided
us
with opportunities
to
witness that we would not have had other
wise:
doctors, nurses,
technicians in the hospitals
and also to
the many
people who came to call on
us.
Among
them was
a young business man here
in Terracina who came almost every day
to
see me when
I was flat
on
my
back with the full length cast.
I
will baptize him on Christmas Day,
He
has
been
witnessing
to his
brother and others and it
would not sur
prise
us
if his
brother
also will be baptized.
We
send you our greetings at
this
holiday season
and
ask your continued
prayers. Thank you for your support
and
yo"ur
love.
Your missionaries,
