Dear Christian li-ienda:

Once again we

greet you from the "Land of MaSana (tomorrow) where we are

preaching Christ today.

I read an article not too long ago which was entitled, "God Itoes ITot Have

Any (h-andchlldren," referring to the fact that each person must accept or
reject Christ ^no one rides into Heaven on the coat-tails of another

person, even tho it he a saintly father or mother. I thought at that time,

"Ho, God doesn't have any grandchildren, BUT CHRISITJUT UOEKSRG CERTAIITLT DOi"
Enclosed is ajlcture of four of Geneva's and ray "Spiritual (h-andchildren, "
These youth represent three afferent Christian Churches organized here in
Herraosillo thru our efforts. (The hoy and the girl on the far right are twins.)
These are the continuing fruit of our 10 years of efforts in this Mission
Field.

As you continue to undergird us vdth prayer and regular financial si^port and
we continue to vdtness, to teach, to preach, and to live Christ before these
Ilexican people, perhaps the Lord in Ids Mercy will allow us to see our

Spiritual Great-Va^dchildren. Ue pray that it may he so.

Thank you and God hless you and yours.

Your Missionaries in V/estern Mexico

"boy was thouroughly scolded for internpting the prayer meeting. He calmlysaid
couldn't come toni^t, "but if all you men will come out to the wagon, you cah help
me unload Pa's PRATERS] "

We have just had our

convention in the almost finished Oolonia Olivares

"'"'.ding. The fact that there was no door, nor were there electric lights (the

whole area is Being wired at the same time) didn't dim the ^irit of the "brethern
who met

to hear an ex-student of M,B,S, speak.

His wife added much to the

service "by playing the accordionand made us realize how much we needed someone
