Miss Held is the daughter of Mrs. Sam Houser, former local resident now living in Elkhart. Box 14, S.I.M. Kano, Northern Nigeria, W. Africa December 27, 1956 Christmas Greetings from Africa, Christmas Day has really come and gone but the spirit of living and loving and giving and sharing goes on—and must go on that we might see joy in this world and peace in the hearts and lives of men on earth. How we rejoice that this all comes about as we receive Christ into our hearts and live for Him. The Christmas season here in Africa was somewhat different from what I have ever experienced at home. There was no snow nor ice and we wore our very thin clothing as we went to church on Christmas Day. My heart was made very warm, too, as I watched hundreds of Africans bring their thank offering to the Lord in the service. One man brought his “riga” /gown)

and laid it on the altar as his ottering. > Since I last wrote to many of you, I have been continually studying the Hausa language here in Kano. This is certainly a profitable time as I am learning many of the customs and ways of the people, too. Two weeks ago an African family invited me to eat supper at their home. It was my first experience with African food cooked by the Africans. It was very good—even “Tuwo da Miya”, the staple food of the people here. It is a mush cooked from millet or guinea com and eaten with a gravy made from a meat stock and other things added, among them, red peppers. I tasted something like grit in the mush and when I asked what it was, they tqld me that it was grit, as they gr 1 d their grain between stones and particles of stone do rub off. Sunday after Sunday as we have gone to the “bush” with medicine box, Bible and song book, we have experienced many things. We have seen large dirty ulcers become healed: babies’ bulging inflamed eyelids become normal: but more* than that, we have seen men whose hearts were once hardened to the things of the Son of God, now welcoming us into their villages and listening to His Word. All of this has been very preparatory for me as on February 12, I will be finishing my language study and going on the station where I have been assigned. It is at a place sixty-seven miles north of here called Roni. The S.I.M. has a station there with a Boy’s School, dispensary and a lepar segregation village. I have been told that there is a large work there with over a hundred and twenty patients daily at the dispensary and five hundred lepers coming for treatment twice weekly. I surely do thank the Lord for this and I am looking forward to the time when I can go and serve Him there. I want to thank you for the many letters and cards that have been sent to me since I have been here. They have been such a blessing to me as I read and re-read them, trying to get all of the news from “home.” May our Lord bless you and give you a very happy and blessed New Year.
