She is still working as a typesetter at El Paso Press, a neighborhood newspaper in northeast El Paso. Part of her job also includes typesetting eight local high school newspapers, work on an annual or two, and a literary magazine.

She does a lot of design, layout and paste-up for

deteriorated to the point that when school closed, so did the business! Kathy was left holding the sack for
several dollars in back salary.

Kathy is also doing some commercial typesetting for

a business called "BON Production". This involves

several jobs including a 16-page tabloid newspaper, on which she does a lot of paste-up, layout, and design, as well as the typesetting.

The pre-Christmas weeks have been very hectic for

She filed for unemployment, and it was granted, so there was a check coming in for that. As of now, Kathy still has not received any of the back salary due from

her former employer. The onlyrecourse wouldbe legal action against some of his partners in California (he
is broke and has no legal assets) which involves filing
in that state.

During the summer she did some typesetting at

S.A.E. This fall she began doing the school newspapers

to press the same week. Added to this, Catharina call ed us November 14, and asked us to come get her and the boys, after nearly 8 years she had had all she could take. (We had been concerned for their safety for a long tune, but we knew that she must make the deci sion on her own.) She called on Thursday. We went to Lynn and Shannon's Friday evening.

any minor inconvenience doesn't count. We were all sorry when she had to leaveesecially Chris. He has told us more than once that he misses great-grandma. It seems that I have put everything in this letter but the kitchen sink. I have not, however, mentioned the work at Sanish American Evangelism. This has been a good year for the ministrybut not a great year. The real problem has been the necessary finances to pur chase paper for printing. In spite of this problem, we produced and distributed the better art of a million tracts this year. The real bright spot is that we have on hand enough paper to produce nearly another million tracts in the next 60 to 90 days. This means that we are going to be able to start the new year with a flood of tractsalmost as many as we were able to do last year. We are also trusting the Lord that he will supply paper necessary to keep the presses running this year so that we can produce two to four million tracts this coming year. Incidentally, we have had more orders

as a husband and a father have left much to be desired. Bias had made a decision at one time to be a Chris

tian, but somewhere along the line, he and the Lord seem to have parted company. He is a man that we have grown to love, so we are very sad that the breakup of their marriage came, but it did have to come. Catharina is doing well. After the first of the year she intends to look for work, and later on for an apart ment and a car. Her long range plans include some form of college education. She must take one day at
a time.

Kathy has been sad that we had so little opportuni ty to spend time with Catharina and the grandchildren over the years. This is going to be a very special Christmas for us. Our family is now five (at least, for the near future), and we are getting along really well. On December 21 Lynn and Shannon came for a week. We are so blessed to be with our kids this year (and we don't have to do a lot of driving to do it). Lynn brought his tools and pick-up so that we could
put on a new roof while he was here. The roof had

The whole month of August was used up in planning the menus, visiting different stores and comparmg prices, and then purchasing all the groceries necessary for a complete weekend. We were planning meals for 100 people, not knowing for sure how many would be there. It ended up be very tiring but very
rewarding.
