You know what a gift that God has given me this story to reach these generations. So, Almost everyone would understand that when you first arrived to the mission field there's going to be transitions and difficulties, but people may not understand that when you come back from the mission field for your first furlow, there's also something of a, we could even

call it a culture shock, re-introducing yourself into culture. How is it for you? It was kind of compounded shock because I came back actually I realized later on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

I had had a really rough time my first furlough, I mean my first term, including those, you know, the time

when I was essentially by myself at Corpoon except for others coming

and having to learn everything and deal with conflicts and all of that kind of thing and I really was on the verge of a

nervous breakdown so I needed arrest so I spent the first several weeks just being at home and in my church and I really

understood the wisdom of having not done my support raising, you know, going around to churches to gather support.

From a wide area, I had limited it to Washington, State, Northern Idaho, and Northern Oregon.

So I wasn't traveling back and forth across the country. So I was able to get that renewed time at the beginning of the furlough.

And then the idea of the hydro came up and so talking with Mike about that and he told me he had that was

at least, at least,

at least $20,000, the whole thing.

Well, that was... $20,000 then, which would be even more now.

Oh, much more, yes.

And I, my support was from little rural churches.

And so I said,

okay, Lord, what are we going to do about this?

But once again, I determined I would not initiate talking about it.

As I went to these churches and individual know by the end of the

if they asked me about needs I would tell them

and they did and you know by the end of the fertile, we had all the money for the

computer and the hydro project. I just how was that even possible it wasn't but the Lord did it.
