Alfredo is not your typical primary student. When he first came to us he didn’t know how to read at all and hardly knew his alphabet. He was so shy he would hardly say a word. He just kept his head down and answered any direct questions as briefly as possible. It didn’t help that […]

Brother Silvestre, a thin elderly man with a white mustache, is Don Felipe’s son. He had the sermon this last Sabbath. He said that when he used to do door-to-door work he met a man, a former Adventist who told him “I have three blows against you. If you can answer them, then I’ll listen […]

For a long time we were praying for the rain, since our field of onions was not growing, and despite the forecasts of drought, our land received the rain necessary to make our thirsty onions grow.

But the time of the harvest came, and our onions, large and beautiful, were ready to be […]

Sabbath peace and greetings to all of you in Christ! We welcomed the Sabbath this evening singing the hymn “How Great thou Art” accompanied by rolling thunder and lightning-gilded clouds.
