Dear Family,
Hi! Hope you all are fine. Boy -- have I really been busy -- then tonight we had to move unexpectedly -- will tell you more about that later.
This week has sure been a busy one. But -- yesterday we went to Ron & Emily's -- Douglas Lake and had our first day off that we have had all summer. Wow -- was it ever great!!
They gave us one of their prayer letters -- which I'll include in this letter. I would appreciate it if you would try & save it. You can tell that letter was written early in the summer as they mention the "cool & cloudy" weather. That's hard to remember now -- today it was 106º -- but it really doesn't feel that HOT. Hot but not quite that HOT!
Tonight Patsy came home & took over her house. So we are now back in the school house. We're going to miss those beds, the hot water, bath-tub, etc. etc.
I took a bath today -- which I'm glad of because it will probably be the last bath I have till I get home.
By the way -- I hope I hear from you all soon about what you think would be the best way to get home. I have it worked out so far that I can leave Quilchena Friday morning about 9:00 A.M. & get to Vancouver about 5:00, then to the airport. Um -- that's all I know definitely.
If you have a brain storm and would like to talk to me you can call person-to-person for Roberta Uible, at Quilchena 1-F. That would be the home of Isaac Lindley. They are the only family on the reserve with a phone. You could call them, and, then leave a time for me to call back. That would be if you did have to get a hold of me in a rush.
I cannot believe I'll be leaving here in two weeks. I am NOT telling people back home that I'll be early, but if you have then that is fine.
OH -- I no longer have a sleeping bag -- I mean for about ten days. As I gave it to one of the boys in the reserve to take to camp. I hope that's OK.
I am going to write Sappy [?] about sending back my C.P.O. with the camp group when they come back. I also wrote Pam & told her that I'll send her money to mail my tote-bag back home. Those are the two major things that I have scattered all over the GREAT NORTHWEST!
Bible School went fine for the last week. Wednesday night we had our program. All the kids really got a "big feeling" out of it. But the funny part was that I wore my pants suit -- the one I bought with my birthday money & every kid here said at least three times "Oh, you sure got all dressed up." As all summer I have worn exclusively three pair of jeans, a pair of shorts & about 4 tops.
One little girl told me I should get my camera & take a picture -- and I did. A little boy gave me his hat for the picture so it should be interesting!!
I hope you realize Dad that I need money to get home on. Or rather to get to Kalamazoo on. So do send how ever much you think I need. By the way -- I would appreciate a little extra -- since my plans are not real definite & in case something would come up.
Well -- I better be closing. Hope to hear from you all soon. Do tell everyone hello for me and be sure & tell Grandma "Hi" for me.
Love in Christ
Bert
