Merry Christinas and a Happy New Year We thought you might be interested
in some of the things that went on here in Cebu City this year.
In January, Imogene fell on our stairs and broke her right wrist. Now, it is
almost as good as new.
Larry and his
wife
Yola made us happy in February when they, with their two
children, visited here during his Navy leave. He is now on duty in Madison, Wis
consin living in Sun Prairie. Joyce is two and one half years old and her brother,
Mark Ray, will see his first birthday this December 31st.
The twenty first commencement of Cebu Bible Seminary was held in March.
Macario Otadoy brought the
address.
Last year he was awarded an honorary degree
by
the
school t rus tees for
his
work
in New Tes tament
translation.
Mr. and Mrs. John Chase, ministers of our living-link church at Downey, Cal
ifornia, visited
us in April. They also spent some time in Japan and Korea where
they had been missionaries before WWII. Their interest and help to the cause of
Christ in these places has continued through the years. They endured the summer
heat
to
attend th e
annual
convention of t he Churches
of Christ
in this area.
Three
evangelistic teams were
sent out in May. They reported several
baptisms.
At
the
same time they also conducted vacation Bible schools. Six hundred children
were taught in the three provinces of Cebu, Negros, and Xeyte.
Our
oldest son, Mark Robin,
and his wife,
Susan
in
May
visited
Larry and
Yola in
Wisconsin
in the course of their
campaign
to the islands to come to help in this
work. They hope to be in Cebu before the end of the year. While in that state,
Robin spoke in one church where his great grandfather, R. D. Cotton, had ministered
ninety-six years before.
The Cebu City church had a series of meetings in a park area before school
reopened in June. On Philippine Independence Day, June 12, Seminary students and
faculty decorated the mission truck for the parade using the theme, Ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The choir sitting inside was picked
