Gretings in the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ,

With great joy in our hearts we write this news-letter, to inform our breathren of someof our activities and share the blessing of being a laborer for Crist.

We have moved to our house (two rooms that belong to the orphanage eventhoughwe have no bathroon or water, we are sti ll very proud of our house. We have partly furni

shed it. We get the water from a neighbor s house.

Last Thanksgiving-day we gathered at a place where a church house is being builtunter Benito Solis* direction Bro Antonio Medina brought the message. Aftewards we hada fellowship dinner at the same place. No, it was not a turkey dinner, here in MexicoThanksgiving-day is no t known as a nat ional hol iday.

I have continued to visit and preach in three small places near San Luis PotosJ in twoof these places we meet in homes- The third one San Agnstin, has a church building.

Moises Saucedo and I have been doing house to house evangelism in the city. He holdsservices at his house where I have preached.

I would like to remind you of the great need ofChristian literature in spanishi We canuse Bibles, New Testaments as well as visual aids. I would like to place a Bible or NewTestament in every house that we visit. These items can be sent direct to us.

l)^nks to the groups and individuals that have helped vis spiritually and financially.Here we list the contributions that we have received since we left th e States Oct. 29, 1969.
