He has been working both night and dayon this project in order that he might use i t on the program at the NationalMissionary Convention in Cincinnati. He has also been working on last years'annual and he finally finished i t yesterday. Bill and Mr. Gibbs (anotherteacher here) are leaving for the National Missionary Convention on monday sowe ask your prayers as they are away from home I will not be going since ourfinancial support has been very low for the last few months. Maybe anothertime I will be able to go. do ask your prayers as they travel and alsoconcerning our f i n a n c i a l s i t u a t i o n

Our music program has been pretty busy this year. have been taking thechoir to several revivals and this has been very t iring for us. But i t hasbeen a great spiritual blessing, since as least 15 souls have been won for theLord. also had the Colegio Biblico trio wifti us on a trip to Dalhardt, Texas:where we were richly blessed by meeting such wonderful people. do want tothank them for the generous offering which they presented to the Colegio andt he i r excellent hosp i t a l i t y

The Colegio wil be dismissing classes this coming week for a convention atSaltil lo Coahuila, Mexico, Also during this time the basketball team willtravel to Cookson Hills for their annual tournament. ask your prayers forall our school family as they will be away from the campus.

We do thank you again for your help, both spiritual and financial We are alsopraying for all of you who have been helping us in these ways.
