Merry Christmas from Irene's Corner...May you and your family have a blessed Christmas...you are precious to us! Tom spent eight and a half days inthe hospital last week, resulting in the removal of his gallbladder! One of the tests he had was a Endoscopic Retrograde Colangio Pancreatography. A friend asked "what's THAT?" I answered, "Why, that's a ERCP-or course!"

We completed the Grebo New Testament. I just received some chapters for the Momogu Bible in Sabah, Malaysia. The word momogun' means "living a somewhat nomadic life". This will enable the church of Sabah to integrate the remaining Bible portions which were not included in the 1990 edition and are just now being translated. Pray that the people can soon have the full Bible in their own dialect. Debbie is flying out to spend Christmas with us on the 19th. I'm looking forward to some mother-daughter times! We are proud of our grandsons. Jonathan is working full time and going to college, managing his finances and paying his tuition! Samuel, a junior, is taking two honors classes plus working 15-20 hours a week! The shower, new plumbing, and some wall repairs are finished and we've spent about $1,500 out-of- pocket so far not covered by our insurance!

Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and for you, our precious co-laborers!
Our love & prayers,
Tom and Irene Hodges
