February in the USA
We returned to the United States during the first week of January. We have been trying to transition to Texas life. I was able to switch doctors for my regular prescriptions (only two); switched my car insurance to the state of Texas, and was able to get my Texas driver’s license and license plates, etc. We were finally able to sell our house and will be renting an apartment, only for the time we are in the states.
During the time we are worshiping with the brethren at Schertz, we are doing all that we can to be encourage the brethren there. I have the privilege to leading singing, teach Bible class, and also to fill in preaching. I preached three times and taught a Bible class at Schertz during the month of February. Eta also takes part in the two ladies’ classes each week.
I continue to take part in Zoom and LINE classes and worship in Malaysia and Taiwan, both in English and Chinese. In between these efforts, I work on materials for teaching.
The third Sunday in February, Eta and I visited the Oologah, OK congregation to give a report of our work. It was great to be with brethren there again. We had the privilege to enjoy the hospitality of the Paul and Rebekah Praschnik family. It was also good to see Chuck and Jody Northrop again. Their two daughters are also members in Oologah.
At the end of the month, we had our son, Samuel, visit us for a few days. At the same time, Mike and Lydia Tubbs were coming through this area and we were able to visit with them and do some sightseeing in the area.

Four Seas College Chinese Class
My next class (in April) will be on the subject of “Leadership in the Church” in Four Seas College – Chinese Dept. I am currently working on the PowerPoint slides for the upcoming class. I am also working on the manuscript and PowerPoint for the Chinese Asian Bible Lectureship to be conducted in June.
Again, I am thankful for the opportunity to teach Chinese students from China, Singapore, and Malaysia in the Chinese department of Four Seas College.
We are looking forward to the many teaching opportunities we will have in the new year, both in English and Chinese. Beginning next month, I begin a monthly class with some brethren and friends in another location in China.
We thank you in advance for all of your help in our efforts. We continue to put our trust in God in all things. Please continue to pray for our work for the Lord.
