Dear Friends, Family and Brethren
Well I told you yesterday that I was going to have to return to the container and check the whole floor, I did that this morning.

WHAT WAS I THINKING?????????? I found four more boxes of water soaked books and one box of soaked photo albums and slides. The new pictures show the photo album pages drying so I can scan them and try to save some of the pictures. I have lost about half of my library. Again many were College press books and they were the series "What does the Bible Say about....?" I especially like the bright yellow mould on the books (could it be a new strain of penicillin worth billions???) and yes I found a huge nest of large black ants that I used a whole can of spray on. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????????? Did my boxes look like the Christian Science reading room to the ants?

And yes, NOW ALL the boxes are up off the floor IN CASE the area floods again.

Do you know what slides do when they are wet for a period of time? I didn't know that either. The emulsion on the slide liquidizes and the slides go blank. My mind has been going blank now some of my slides have. So much for 1979-1983.

I was planning to donate my library to the Christian Institute but that gesture doesn't sound so noble now. I will have to see what we can salvage after the sun has done its work.

Please keep us in your prayers with our needs for the Christian Institute of Biblical Studies-Fiji.

In Christ
