It has been a busy December and finally I have time to sit down and catch up everyone on news of Chidamoyo.Welcome to 2020!We all made it!


Major’s daughter, Carolyn, arrived on December 14 after finishing her finals for first semester of her sophomore year.She did very well and got all A’s and 1 B+ which she was disappointed with.She was ready to be away from studying and she slept a lot and I kept her busy with Christmas shopping and we went to a stage play, out to eat with many friends, went to a movie and spent time at Christmas with friends.


It was so nice for me to be home during Christmas—it has been a long time and I really enjoyed all the activities, decorating and outside lights.The activities at church and with family were so nice.We went looking at Christmas lights one night and visited a church who made up a little town of Bethlehem with live animals including a camel.

How fun it was that I got to fly out to Kansas City, Missouri from CA on Thursday the 14th of November to attend International Conference of Missions (ICOM). I was met at the airport by the Jeff Barringer family from Carl Junction, Missouri.  They worked as our Maintenance family from 1990-1996 at Chidamoyo.  Their three children, Isaac, Sarah and Bethany are now all grown up and have 8 children between the 3 of them.  It had been 4 years since I had seen them, so it was great.  They had rented a big house for all of us to stay in and on Friday their youngest Bethany and her husband and girls joined us. Isaac Barringer and his wife and 2 girls are now missionaries in Cambodia and had just arrived home for their first furlough--only 2 months before they head back.  It was so great to visit with them and hear about their work. The sessions were great and exciting to hear all the work going on throughout the world.  I also attended a class and saw many old friends. The first day I saw Z…
