| Esly and Dana and their friend visiting after church. |
After a church service at Bethesda Tabernacle in Nuevo Progreso, we all enjoyed coconut cookies baked by Cindy Jalife. Cindy and her husband Danny manage Leisure World Park in Weslaco, Texas.
There was plenty of steaming hot coffee made in a 30 cup electric urn. The temperature that night was in the 60's and there was a slight breeze. The coffee and cookies were welcomed.

| Lloyd, Mario Belmares and Pastor Gerardo. |
Lloyd, Evangelist Mario Belmares and Pastor Gerardo visited inside the parsonage. Mario, who also attends Bethesda Tabernacle, preaches regularly on Radio VIDA and is heard on both sides of the border. He will soon conduct a radio crusade to raise funds for the church.
 |
| Many people had already gone home, but these two ladies stayed longer so they could visit. |
 |
| Dana, Pastor Gerardo's daughter, pretended to stand guard over the cookies! Cindy had wrapped them in foil to keep them warm. They were fresh from the oven and a real treat. |
 |
| After church Esly showed off their new puppy. Once during the service the puppy ventured out into the congregation but was quickly scooped up and taken back into the parsonage. |
After participating in a good worship service and hearing an encouraging message, people were reluctant to leave the church. The warmth of fellowship lingered and there was an atmosphere of love. It was very late when Lloyd and I drove back across the international bridge, through customs and then home. The afterglow lingered long into the night.
"For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." 1 John 3:11
