Diary Tidbits

Which reminds me that in our recent reading of great-grandmother's diaries we learned that my Dad's Uncle Eugene and Aunt Mary Olive were at some time in the 1950s living in South Dakota or else North Dakota, one of those Dakota states. I only know of the Hunts as living in Venezuela so I was not aware of any other place that they ever lived previous to Venezuela. Thus it is surprising to see references to the Hunts living in the icy cold hinterlands of the Dakota wilderness where it is presumed that the Hunts were serving as ministers and pastors to the wickedly decadent denizens of the Dakotas. I can only imagine because I never heard them tell of anything about themselves or their ministry except that they were in Venezuela under the auspices of the Christian Missionary Alliance which is a denomination that used to be Pentecostal but later turned sort of Baptist so obviously they would have a different view of doctrinal matters than we would. We are not unaware of these differences of opinion in regards to the signs of the Baptism, etc. etc. etc. We are grateful to the Hunts for staying with Grandma Calkins during her last dying months which is almost the only time I ever saw them. We heard that they went to England later but it is very expensive there. Other than that we do not understand what their problem is other than having no money as retired missionaries but that is not unusual for those who were not independently wealthy in the first place. So?
