• Letter from Africa

  This is from a good friend in Africa.  We love him and his family  very much.  We have known him since he was about 4 years old.  He is now the director of our Seminary in the capitol city of the Central African Republic  .Please excuse the poor English and the spelling mistakes.  I don't think he ever had formal English lessons, however he does speak about 5 different languages.  His English is So much better than my French or Sango is.  The word donate in the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph should be donuts, known there as makalas.  Tom used to bring back flour and oil for Francois' mother when he made trips to Bangui.  We all lived upcountry then, in a small town in the bush.
