country, there is a Mexican publisher that owns a couple
of ail'planes; one he uses for crop fumigation and the other
as a trainer plane. Recently he sent in some of his experiences,
and the following one he had last April, showing how
he uses his planes to further the Kingdom interests:
"On one occasion I went to visit some friends of mine
at their ranch. I had to go by plane, since there was no
other means of getting to the ranch. After getting there I
circled around the ranch a few times looking for a place
to land. Near the house of my friends was a very narrow
road and, since there wasn't anything better to use, thanks
to Jehovah, I landed safely. They were very glad to see
me, and after greeting me they invited me into their home.
We started a conversation, and before long I was giving
them a witness. They did not resist at all, but, to the
contrary, showed much Interest. The father of the family
knew a little about the Bible, but he did not belong to any
particular sect. He woulu tell them that everything that I
was saying was correct because that is the way it was
written. After seeing how deeply interested they were I
placed three 'Let God Be True' books and offered to study
with them weekly. They accepted the offer and said that
they would be waiting for me the following Sunday morning
at eight o'clock. They also stated that I wouldn't have to
worry about landing, since they would fix a small landing
fieW by the time I got there the following week.
"I returned the next week, and, sure enough, they had
fixed a small but good landing field on which I landed
without any trouble. After greeting them we entered their
home and immediately started to study. They all rejoiced at
the study and asked me not to miss a single study with
them, because they were all very much interested. I went
to all of the following studies anu, since Memorial was
corning up, I invited them to attend, an invitation which
they all accepted. I told them to get ready and to be prepared
to leave on Memorial day, since I would pick them up in
my plane. On Memorial day I went for them and there they
were all anxiously waiting for me because they wanten to
meet the rest of the brethren and see the Kingdom lIall."
Another interesting item is this report from the wife of a
circuit servant: "After Brother Knorr's visit last December,
my husband was assigned as circuit servant in Mexico City
and in surrounding pueblos, or small towns. Among the
many interesting experiences we have had in the last
seven months since we started the circuit work was in the
small town of Almoloya, Hidalgo, about three hours' ride
by train from Mexico City and two hours more of walking
to the small rancho where the Kingdom Hall is located. The
