Dear Friends in Christ:

Brother Damon Ellett writes that he is getting back

into the swing of things and that the attendance is in

creasing steadily with many children in attendance.
Brother Mayo Proctor of New Tazewell, Tenn., went
to El Mante and has helped the brethren to roof the new

church building. They are very happy about it. The new
building is already in use even though there is no -

floor, windows, doors or church pews as yet. They plan

to add a little to it each month.

We hope, in a future issue to print the pictures in

EXCMPT FROM A LETTER FBDK DAMDN, June 13

"Everything is going well down here, The two girls

for the

who went to Bible Colle^

summer. One of the fell

Oaxaca (down in the istl

to open a work there. '
the only ones supporting him.

OW IS

touring with a quartet from Colegio Biblico and ;vill

be here sometime this month. He will probably help
us here. Our attendance is building up and we had 35

Sunday night. Now we are in peed of -ben^heg, for that

filled all the chairs. We had^^^^^S^nday

afternoon,"

"Well, back to the farm. I have been spending half

c*.

vAvxjr

children with diarrhea, worms and malnutrition. They

week vre ^^arted holding services oux> thei^ and if I

could only be out there on Sunday we could really go

ahead."

coEtinuecl from the front page

the news letter. Vfe indeed wish to thank the New Tazewell church for lending their minister to the El Mante

work for a brief period. V/o, of the iidvisory Board, are

so thankful that congregations realize the importance
of a close working fellowship between the supporting

congregations and the mission field, jigain, many thanks.

The cost of the building, thus far, is something
like $ 700.00.
Our Missionaries to Mexico hope to locate closer

to the church. They have purchased a nice big lot 75

by 150 over in one of the suburbs. They hope to get
enough money together to build a cheap mud hut, for the
time being at least, and move there. They want to be
saving on rent and that money can be used to good advan
tage.

The church building is spacious. It will be able

to serve many years because of its splendid construct
ion. Even though it is in use, there is much work still
to be done. V/e thank you for your prayers, your inter
est and your financial contributions. The Lo3?d-blej
you.

If you were the Elletts, you would be in an area

where it was dry and 100 degrees on March 12th. But
the greatest concern would be the millions without a
knowledge of the real Power of the Gospel of Jesus.
The task is great but Damon and Leonila are willing to
give it their best.
IVhy? iJ.1 because of Calvary.
