from Farkin. She asks me when we can meet up in the Sassun region, because we have agreed to spend the holidays together up there, and I am very much looking forward to it. By Mr Schuchardt, I have been allowed to travel up there for the holiday. To my many poor and sick there’s not much help this year. If you can, I ask for some help for them. Likewise, I would like to have a little to bring to some of the most miserable up in the Sassun region. Up there, the need is so great in many places. I have had and still have many more sick ones this year. Rupen has also been more often sick from malaria, so thin and pale, but is now better; but myself I have been allowed to be healthy, and I am so grateful, for who else would take over my work.
We were allowed from Frankfurt to remodel the assembly building and the school building, which is in a house whose walls are very poor. Badvelli Krikor has now applied to the government for permission, and I think we will get it. I am so glad that we are allowed to build a proper house of God, this is also an answer to our prayers. If only you could send the 100 kroner that one evening where collected in Kristiania. I would suggest that you send them to Frankfurt and say that they should be used towards a harmonium for the assembly hall. What do you think?
This winter we are going to have both orphanages in Musch, it is too difficult to have one here and one in the village, I am happy about this. We do not yet have a building permit, but God will provide for that as well.
It is a troubled time we live in. The Italians are supposed to be by the Dardanelles. How is it going to end up with Turkey? S. Thora says it is uneasy there, but we do not notice anything here; but the Turks are not as kind to us this year as before, but I do not notice any hatred.
Unfortunately, I did not know that Norwegian K. M. A. this year was going to have its 10 years celebration party, otherwise you would have received a special greeting on that occasion.
Live well! The peace of God! With the desire of the Lord's blessing on each one, I remain your happy envoy
