We were recently delighted to receive our absentee ballots for the upcoming national election in the mail here. We have marked our the ballots, and I tried to send them off this morning. Someone had stolen the stamps from the college secretary, so I gave money to a person who was going into town to buy stamps for me tomorrow and to mail the ballots from Hagen. We are doing our best to take part in this election.
The photo shows Jeff with his absentee ballot. He's still very much alive after his malaria, but he has lost about 20 pounds since we came back here. I think he looks really great slim. He was getting even more fit after our return to the college by running in the early mornings. It seems that vivax mosquitoes feed at dawn, so we think he got malaria from running by the river where the mosquitoes live. He is getting his energy back after malaria. We're thankful for folks' prayers and concern.
In other news, the CLTC employee who was charged with robbery of college funds has been bailed from prison. Bail requirements are that the person cannot leave our province or be in the presence of other witnesses for the trial. The trial is set for 10 November.
There is no more news about our carjacked van or the robbers who kidnapped our college store manager.
Some good news is that the long-awaited Mundhenks, who also serve with Pioneers, arrived on campus this week. They are getting settled to be ready to serve in the college year that begins in February.
