District Rally - Part 2



We had a long and busy, but wonderful day in Nuevo Leon. We woke up in Saltillo before 6, and arrived in Galeana high up in the Sierra Madre Mountains at 9:30. The service finally got underway around 11:30 and went to 1:30. We had a great meal of chicken, rice and tortillas at 2 and the afternoon service started at 3. It went until 5 and then we all said our goodbyes and got on the road so we could get home before dark. 5 churches cooperated for this District Rally and the benches were filled and many sat on the floor of the chapel and outside. Our people had such a great time of worship and fellowship together. We thank God for His help and we thank you for your prayers!
 

We had a delicious meal of grilled chicken, rice and tortillas.

 We had a full house for Sunday services with several people standing in the doorway and sitting outside.
