"Dear, dear friends...that were interested in the New..."

that were interested in the New-Vuer-Reader for me . I CAN SEE! I CAN READ!

Of course my spectacles weigh a bit more than yours, the new apparatus don't fit on my nose like yours, but still I CAN read. For which I thank you folks who were so kind and thoughtful as well as the merciful Lord.

It finally came. It is worth waiting for. It is very good. Many have written asking why they have not heard how it is, but the situation was that it has been held up in Customs here, actually for months. In Latin developing countries that have the custom that Customs pay their taxes. It is one of the principle sources if income to run the country., duty on importations. A car or color TV, for instance, will pay 90 or 100%, that is, if something costs in the U.S. $2500.00 they charge another $2500 duty, and of course then it can only be sold, if it is a commercial item, at $5000.

The blind can receive things, theoretically, duty free. But the red tape, always rampant and rife, really begins to throb and thrive. Maybe someone of you sympathizers were as impatient as I. One just has to learn in these countries that There'll always be a Mañana. Read the Bible passages on the importance of patience, and learn the lesson more or less the best one can. The slowest Mañana finally arrives, so it came and was set up, AND I CAN READ NOW.

I got the Bible. A kindly friend has sent a new and beautiful Bible in English with large letters, but it was not large enough to read with ease before, but now in this Vuer, it is-- well, just beautiful. I opened the Bible, put it under the Vuer and the letters came on the big bright screen. And the Lord opened the prison doors....For a moment it seemed that verse was for someone else. I have been visiting the prison regularly, but not as a prisoner. Then remembered that I had said in times past, It would be no jail or punishment to me if the place had a good library. Any situation where one could not read, would be a very hard jail.... So, when I could not get someone handy to read things for me, I was rather in jail, but now I am rather FREE.

I am cooperating with the Praery Campaign for El Salvador. The Mission continues its regular work of getting tracts printed, open air meetings, food necessities for the poor, milk for the children, and the like. But the main evangelist on the El Salvador campaign seems to like having me with him in meetings here. They go to Salvador to organize all the believers into army of pray-ers for their country, but the evangelist says he can only hope for success there as the folks in Guatemala back him up with their prayers. Guatemala was in a prayer campaign for itself a year or two ago, and God gave a tremendous victory. Now the Guatemalans are victorious veterans, and must help the Salvadoreans in their prayer battles. Also, that there will be little hope for continued success against such satanic odds and forces unless the U.S.. believers also join in, keeping up the great tide of victory for evangelistic work and prevailing prayer.

May the Lord answer all your prayers for your situation there as you join in these battles.

Sincerely.

Brother Orland
