Just
a note once more to tell you I think of you often especially
after
reading your last letter to Miss Slater.
The
hardships which you people suffer are pretty tough but I know
you are
glad to be there. Is Bwana better these days and are your
buildings
finished now? Does Nyakeiru seem happier and does she do anything
for you? I sure would have her if I were you. Tell us if
anything
more exciting develops about the officials camp etc. We are
remembering you in prayer. Last night I listened to Claudon’s
prayer and he prayed something like this. Lord; (after saying
“Now
I lay Me”) bless Groos Ma & Groos Pa etc - - - - - and
bless
Daddy & Mamma. forgive them for their sins that they have
done
today. help Mamma to teach them right and keep them from being
sick
or anything and don’t let the animals get them. Bless Tagi - -
- -
- etc. and forgive my sins of today and make me a good boy.
For
Jesus sake. Amen. Oh yes - also the Lord’s Prayer at end. All
of
this without a second’s hesitation. he always remembers Mr
Bell -
Miss Slater & me too. He is doing well in all of his
studies. I
hope you will notice improvement. Raymond is doing pretty
well. Just now his cold makes him miserable. He can’t apply
himself very
well either but that will come to him later I hope.
We
did have a nice vacation & after the children came back to
the
school, Jim & I stayed at nights in a tent back of Mothers
house
where it was very quiet and restful.
Mother
[Hurlburt] seems very well. also Harry. Miss Collins is going
to
stay the rest of the term and Mrs Hetz still has the High
School
pupils.
The
Kendalls are clearing up their place but it looks rather bare
without
those lovely trees.
Ceke’s
wife & three children have left him & are staying at
Mothers.
We
have had a little rain & have planted & it rains no
more. Pray that it may. How are you folks?
Must
close. With much love to you, wish you could be here with me.
Lovingly,
Agnes H. Bell.
