Before coning to Hawaii we planned to WQX>l 3 years on the mission field before returning home on furlou^. As the old saying goes "time flies" and its hard to realize the 3 years will be this June. We feel that " o\ur ^iritual battery needs x^harging so we now plan (if its the Lord's will) to return to the mainland in June, in time far the North American Christ ian Convention at Long Beach California.

her Lord in Hawaii.

Our purpose in coming to the mainland on furlough is three-fold. One, to visit family and loved ones that we have not seen in three years; two, to visit the churches and individuals who have supported the Lord's work in Hawaii; and three, to visit new congregations (as time allows) and acquaint them with the Hawaii Mission Field. Up to this date, 1 September, 1954, we have visited churches
in 9 states.
