Santa Apolonia

On a recent Sunday we were able to visit Pastor Chito in the town of Santa Apolonia in northeastern Mexico.



These are some of the children that came for Sunday School. It was held in the church van since there are no Sunday School rooms in this little chapel.


They dressed their balloons in the Armor of God. It was a very nice project which the pastor's wife learned in our last Institute session taught by Helen Reiff.

A beautiful, young mother who attended the service. She listened very attentively as Steve preached.

Steve took a group picture after church.

Christmas - Part #2

The Sankeys came over for Christmas Day. Here we are getting ready to eat.


Roast pork, Macaroni and Cheese, Sweet Potatoes, Pasta Salad, Cottage Cheese, Deviled Eggs, Corn and Rolls.



On December 23rd we went to a restaurant in downtown Saltillo to celebrate Maria's birthday.



We also enjoyed a wonderful meal with the Correas. Great people! (Muy buena gente)!
