We had a surprise about the case of the CLTC employee awaiting trial for conspiracy in a robbery of CLTC funds. The hearing which has been postponed again and again over the last two months is just a bail hearing! We thought all along it was the actual trial. The bail hearing is still pending. Please pray for the employee to receive the basics (food, water, clean air, a place to sleep) that are necessary and for the CLTC community to live in peace together about this matter.

After two months our washer has been returned to us in working order. We are grateful.

Another child died in Sigri village this week. This one a seven-year-old boy. I don't know many details except that he was well one day, felt weak at breakfast the next day, and he died at our college clinic while being examined. We grieve with the family.

Our classes continue going well. I look forward to tomorrow's missions class in which several students are scheduled to tell oral biographies of famous early missionaries. Our first quiz is slated for Tuesday.

We are enjoying delicious green beans from our garden, and new calves are being born each day now just over the garden fence. I counted three mamas with new babies today. The calves are so cute and clumsy when they first walk around a couple hours after birth. They seem as though a flea bites them so they take a leap in response. They sometimes are able to frolic around friskily, but other times they land in odd positions on the hill and they have difficulty knowing which way to move next. So amusing to watch!
