The following is a report from Bro. Sankey....

Hello from a very warm Rio Grande Valley - I just saw 88 degrees while ago!
We want to send a few pictures of our first Sunday in Mexico and the market on Monday.
On Sunday morning we visited the Bible Methodist Church in Soledad where Homero Luna is the pastor. We enjoyed the Lord's presence as Bro. Luna preached and the people sang and testified. Our 2 younger boys enjoyed their first Spanish Sunday School class with a little interpreting from a friend. Bro. and Sis. Tomes said words of farewell and then introduced us as the new missionaries. After the service there were many expressions of "Bienvenidos" and "Dios le Bendiga" as the people shook our hands.
We enjoyed a wonderful Sunday dinner of chicken, rice, corn, tortillas, and more at the Luna's home. They are great hosts and we fellowshipped with them in the afternoon.
On Sunday evening we visited the Bible Methodist Church in Rio Bravo where Santiago Hernandez is the pastor. Again, the Tomes said words of farewell and introduction of our family. Marc preached the evening message with Bro. Tomes interpreting. And again, after the service there were many expressions of "Bienvenidos" (welcome) and "Dios le Bendiga" (God Bless You) as the people shook our hands and greeted us warmly.
After the service our boys enjoyed playing with the Mexican children - play needs no certain language!
