Jeff S. is our field accountant, and he recently ran an internal audit on my CAR bookkeeping. Since Roy and I are the only Covenant missionaries in CAR, one of us has to be treasurer. Guess who gets the job? Roy gets to be the country coordinator, so I’ll take the treasurer position any day!! Dealing with 3 currencies with their bank and petty cash accounts with their varying exchange rates are enough to make me go crazy, but Jeff is always understanding and patient, helping me navigate through what I don’t understand. I must say the same about our mission’s main office accountant and dear friend, Gretchen D. I confess I love to put numbers in their proper boxes in order on a spreadsheet, but these two help me to wrap my head around the bigger picture. I thank God for the unique gifts he gives each one of us!
