Mexico

By S. Marchisio

The first of September I visited Mescquitic, where I held meetings, with fifteen to twenty present. At this place we hope to rent a room for our meetings in a more central part of town, until a church is built.
From here I visited two Sabbath-keeping brothers farther in the interior. The wife of one of them told me that she desires to be baptized. Here I had one very long meeting, with thirteen present, and all rejoiced in the Lord.
From this place I went to La Tapona, nine miles farther on in the mountains, to give Bible readings to two families. These people are not Adventists, but they rejoice very much in hearing the word of God. Still farther up in the interior there are some families writing to us that they are not idolaters, and that they wish to know the truth.
I then went on to Marthehuala. Here I met a family always exceedingly hospitable and kind to every one. They do not yet keep the Sabbath, but we hope they will soon do so.
Leaving there, I went to La Visnaga. We had several days of good meetings with all the church. The brethren in this place have had but little rain for their corn, and are very poor. Notwithstanding this, they are contented, knowing that the Lord will care for them.
Leaving this company, I went to Moctezuma, one hundred miles distant, crossing some high hills on horseback. A brother here was much encouraged in the work of the Lord. Four members of his family wish to be baptized. We had good meetings, with twelve to sixteen present.
Starting from this place with Brother Baltazar, we went to Las Cruces, where there are some who believe the Bible; but the owner of the ranch would not permit us to hold public meetings. Nevertheless, we had meetings in a private home, day and night, without singing. These people said to me that the meetings were surely spiritual feasts to them.
In the most remote places in Mexico there are a few who are rejoicing in the gospel. S. MARCHISIO.
