"Spanish Mary Books" Distributed South-of-the-Border! - (Continued)

A street-vendor who graciously received the Mary Book      We made it safely past the border, that is Tijuana, just before it got real dark. It's amazing how the atmosphere suddenly changed right after crossing the border. All the noise, bustle and confusion which are not common here in northern California was a real eye opener, especially to the other brethren who were with us who had never been out of the United States before. We all braced ourselves for the days ahead. We headed to downtown right away, changed some currency and we were off to find accomodations for the night, which proved to be an experience for the entire trip. After that was taken care of, we all wanted to get to work right away. That we did. We went to downtown Tijuana and ended up in front of the Catholic church and immediately started distributing right there. We got out a couple hundred books in no time and then everyone was ready for some good food.

     "The next morning, after showers, we were ready to get some fresh fruit for breakfast in the open air market just a few blocks from the hotel. Surely, that experience in the market is nothing like any grocery experience here in the states--even the open-air, farmer's markets! On our way back to the motel, a man, who almost looked like a homeless person, approached us trying to tell us of his ailment and was asking for whatever help we could give him. We invited him to follow us to our room. It turned out that he had a bad ear infection. We administered some onion and lemon juice ear-drops and then placed a garlic clove on the outside of his ear. We explained to him what we were doing and encouraged him to continue the treatment that we had begun. He was very willing and happy to kneel down when it was time to pray for the Lord's blessing on the natural remedies that were administered to him. It was a real blessing to help someone in need.

     After a hearty breakfast of some fruit and granola, and our first freshly made hot tortillas, we were ready to go. We left 5 boxes of literature with the hotel manager where we stayed, planning to distribute them on our way back when we head east to Hermosillo. We sped on to Ensenada, hoping to get there and find a place to stay for the night before Sabbath. We grabbed the first motel we looked at, as the Sabbath was drawing nigh. It was a nice and peaceful place at such a reasonable price, and for that we were very thankful. It was not until later that we found out that there was a mouse that lived in the room, and that the roof in the bathroom was leaking water from the room above us. Still, it was a far better place than where we had stayed the night before. But the good thing was, they did not mind us all piling into one room, although they did look at us very strangely when we told them about that intention. We were pretty sure they never had any Americans there who would negotiate a bargain price and at the same time ask to fit 9 people in one room!

We went to downtown Ensenada that night and distributed more literature. The next morning, after breakfast and everything, we went to the residential areas and threw out booklets house-to-house from our vehicles. We did that until all our literature allotted for Ensenada was gone. After that, we went to spend the last few hours of the Sabbath at the beach. It was nice to watch the sun go down with the sound of the waves in the background. We left Ensenada after worship on the beach and after filling up with gas. We had given out about 2,500 pieces of literature in that town. More story and photos ->>
