WHAT

CAN

WE

SAY?

Have you ever felt the inadequacy of words?

Have you ever felt that no

matter what you said, it just wasn't enough to fully express the way you
feel?

Well, that's how I'm feeling today.

Marge and I are currently in the middle of a thousand details as we

prepare to return to Kenya, on May 12. But even as we are involved in

these details we are very conscious of the year we have spent here in the
States. And, as we look back over this last year of furlough, our hearts
are touched by the many remembrances of kindnesses to us.

We aXQ, ujond^A^ing: just how do we go about thanking everyone for the

gracious way we have been received into their homes? And how can I fully
express my feeling for the dear little lady who handed me three dollars
at the door following morning worship with the words, "I uU^h it coiiM

bt moA.e, bat I onZy havz my SocUal SojiLuUtj^ to iivt on now."

How do we tM, people that if it wasn't for their prayers we would

never have made it overseas these past twenty years?

Do our friends,

and families, and supporters really know how much their words of
encouragement, their letters and cards, and their smiles really mean to
us?

And, what about the staff and other personnel back in our Christian

Missionary Fellowship office in Indianapolis:

really appreciate all they do?

Do they know that we

Are they aware that we know of their

sacrificial dedication to their work?

Do our Board members know that we

are grateful for their wisdom, their vision, and the time they give?
Do you see what I mean now? We have so many to whom we owe so much.

have been strengthened, supported, edified, and encouraged by so many

that we don't know where to begin to say 'thank you.'
