Mrs. Kenny is the former Joyce Ahlgrim. Their trip will take them away from here for 5 years. The first leg of their journey took them to Florida where they staid for five days attending a Missionary Conference. On Feb. 5 they flew to Lima, Jeru, and from there on to Santa Cruz--from there to San Jose where Joyce will begin language study for one year. Joyce and Roger are two fine, young devoted people with the prayers of many behind them. May we add ours also and pray for a safe and successful stay in the Missionary field. I think we can persuade Joyce's mom to keep us posted on how they are doing. Woman's Club Election of officers will be held at the next woman's club meeting which will be held next Wednesday.
