Popocatepetl - La bella durmiente
Shooting from the plane, Karl Jones, was lucky enough to catch Mexican volcano Popocatepetl smoking. The volcano is located near Mexico City. One of Mexico's wonders.
Nueva Francia, Chiapas
El entorno la semana pasada fue el ultimo retudo de los bosques tropicales de norteamérica, en Chiapas. El edificio, con su techo de lamina y paredes de mas o menos tres metros de altura, tenía espacio para ventilación. También servía de paso para pollos, pavos y otros animales menores. Eso fue Nueva Francia, una comunidad pequeña en el interior de México, cerca de 80 kms al norte de la frontera con Guatemala. Junto con representantes de 26 congregaciones de la región, Carlos Jones, predicador de la iglesia de Cristo de Burleson y yo dimos un seminario el viernes y sábado, un total de 12 horas de conferencias. Los que nos acompañaron vinieron de pueblos de los cerros locales, donde se cultiva el cafe. Algunos caminaron largas distancias para estar con nosotros. La alegría de estar juntos solo la suplantaba sus ganas de aprender la Palabra de Dios que Carlos y yo compartimos con mucho gusto.
The setting last weekend was the last remainder of rain forest jungle in North America, the Mexican state of Chiapas. The building, a tin roof with walls about four feet tall, leaving space for ventilation. It was also free passage for chickens, turkeys and other small animals. This was Nueva Francia, a small community in the interior of Mexico, less than 50 miles north of the Guatemala border. Together with representatives of 26 Mexican congregations, Karl Jones, Burleson Church of Christ minister, and I spoke for 8 hours last Friday and 4 on Saturday. The men present had come from the communities located on mountain tops in that region, where they grow coffee. Some had walked great distances to be with us. Their joy of being together was only surpassed by their thirst for the Word of God, which Karl and I gladly shared.

Chiapas - En el extremo sur de México
This photo shows the small congregation in Mapastepec, Chiapas. About two years ago a cyclone destroyed their building. The on pictured here is new, where we met with members of such congregation together with Burleson, Texas church leaders, whose financial help made it possible for them to rebuild at a different location. Our seminar started the next day in Nueva Francia, Chiapas. Click here for full report:
