When Bill and Marie-Claire McDonough returned to the states for a short medical visit this fall, they asked Dick and Pam Haines (of Keizer, Oregon) to fill in for them.
On December 13, Dick and Pam reported, “We had a total of fifteen students five days a week—nearly fifty hours of teaching each week.
“We invited students to attend church with us, and an average of two students a week met us and rode with us. When we took one young lady to the Eight-Mile Church of Christ [in Sheila’s home], she found out that Sheila and her mother were from her tribe. They immediately started talking in the dialect of the tribe. Brother Philip, the local minister, could not understand them “We have planted the seed; God will give the increase. We are very grateful that Partners in Progress has sponsored us.”
