Our "Home base" church building. It says "Here meets the Church of Christ, Romans 16:16", In our parlance, "the Church of Christ meets here". |

An area bus. This pic was taken at 6:15 in the morning. Its horn sounded like a train whistle. If you weren't woken up by the sun, you were woken up by the bus. |

The building at Las Delicias. It says "Welcome to the church of Christ". At the top of the pic is a propane lantern; this building had no electricity. |

Sadly, this happened too frequently. Here John is telling a local that his eyesight is too bad for Mike to fix with glasses. If memory serves, this man had cataracts and was close to blindness. |
