Shameless Begging for Lodging


4 June 1991

I found your name and address in the Covenant College Alumni Hospice Directory. My family and I are the first ones listed in that booklet. Yet we never had any visitors, possibly because we
were in Arua, Uganda. Nevertheless we are seeking a place to stay as we drive across America. We have just completed almost eight years of missionary service in Africa and we will spend the summer thanking our supporters. Our present ministry is as pastor here in Hilo.

     There are five of us; Nathan, soon to be 7, will be entering the second grade this Fall, Josiah, 5 1/2 will be entering First Grade, Aaron, almost 4, continues in pre-school. We would be grateful for your hospitality. Sometimes we do certain Ugandan/Hawaiian Traditional Chants and Dances between 3 and 4 a.m. (local time), yet these rarely last more than two hours at one time.

     We do have a video tape of the work of Africa Inland Mission (VHS - 11 minutes), and several slide/tapes (one with lots of animals made for small children). We'd be happy to share these with you. Wouldn't you just love some missionary slides!!!

     Please let us know as soon as possible whether an overnight would be possible.

      
                We will be leaving Hilo on 11 June.
      Our home phone number is 808-969-3871, call collect.

Other wise we will be in Los Angeles area 17 - 23 June, c/o Mr. & Mrs. Don Witteman, 669 Foxwood Road, La Canada-Flintridge, CA 91011, phone (818) 952 - 3433. Looking forward to your response.

Yours in Him, Mark Blair

P.S. Mark was at Covenant between 76 - 78, BA '78.
