 are best, but we don't always understand them. Es. 55, 8-9.

Often, I get quite tired of waiting for God's help and say, "Alas, Lord, for how long" Why doesn't he come to our aid? Hab. 1, 2-4. Bgræd. 2, 11, 18—19 - 4, 4—6. Ps. 69, 2-4, 70, 6.

In such times you have to have faith and wait, but it is very difficult. - Our people are all now "at home", except those who are here with us. It was a terrible time! Alas, may God soon give peace on earth. Pray for it. 3. Mos. 26, 6 - Jer. 15, 2-4. So, it went.

God has healed me without both doctor and medicine. He should have the credit!

As soon as possible we broke up. We traveled with the mutasserifen which was very sick. Sister Alma helped him a lot on the road. He died here in the hospital a few days after his arrival. The Valie in Bitlis is also supposed to be sick. The Lord has protected us all on the journey. We had two gendarmes and six to eight men on foot.

It was a big caravan, as we had 21 cargo and riding animals. We were 11 people and had quite a lot with us, but still sold most of it. Pray for me that God must show me his way. I do not see the step before me, it is completely dark.

We’re good, living in a tent in the garden. I long for work and all the dear people; but no one needs my help there now. From Wan we know nothing definite. In Bitlis the old Miss Ely, Mr. Nape and the priest dead.

This year I’ve been working so well among all the sick in Musch, and we had such hopes for the future; but it would not be so. I would like to write more, but it is not possible. How is it with you all? Please, greet everyone so warmly from me.

Physically it looks good, but I am terribly "heart sick." Remember me before the throne of grace.

The most heartfelt greetings from your

Bodil Biørn.
