August Happenings
We had another busy month in August. As usual I had my regular preaching schedule in Taichung and Malaysia. I speak every first Sunday in Taichung, every second Sunday in Malaysia, and at least once a month at the In-devo zoom class in Malaysia.
We spent a lot of time on this overseas trip visiting doctors, clinics, labs, etc. (I guess that is just another sign of getting older!) Eta and I are certainly now back on the mend and doing pretty well. Eta and I both remember our mother’s birthdays in the month of August. My mother would have been 101 years old this year. Eta’s mom just passed away earlier this year. She would have been eighty-two this year.
One of the main changes for August was starting to teach again at Four Seas College – Chinese online school. I am teaching the course on “The Preacher and His Work – Living the Christian Life. I have more than twenty students studying this course. Almost all of the students are from China. I teach this class for six hours a week. Also, I am constantly preparing more material to use in my regular speaking appointments each month.
One thing we had to do in August was to leave the country in order to renew my thirty-day visa. So, we traveled to another country nearby in order to leave Indonesia then could come back to Indonesia and have my visa renewed for an additional thirty days. This would get me through until we leave for the states. While in the states, we will be working on getting an extended visa so that I do not have to do this again.
By the time many of you read this, we will be on our way back to the states. We leave on Sept. 3rd. We will be in the states almost two months. We will depart for Indonesia again on Oct. 23rd. At that time, Jojo will be going back to Asia with us.

In Memory
In the past few weeks, we have had several of our preaching brethren to pass away. Among them were: Wesley Simons, Ernest Underwood, James Boyd, and Alan Highers. They will be missed. There are others who have also already passed from this life. We have also learned of other brethren whose health have gone down in the past few weeks.
***************
We continue to be thankful for all of your prayers and support as we strive to work among English and Chinese speaking people around the world. It is because of your support that we are able to continue our work among the Chinese people in Asia and other parts of the world. We could not do it without you. We are also thankful for the support and oversight given to our work by the elders at Schertz and the members there. They have been a big encouragement to us.
