Dear Brother McFai'land;
I am sorry that I was unable to learn anything more about the
asked Harland Gary
Mexican preacher who vrrote the 1etter.
about him and he says that he was not accepted at Colegio

Biblico, but for other reasons.;' i'he other preacher mentioned

does seen to have a ba.d ne^ne h>^re in Mexico and probably wl'iat
Bro. Bowlin said about him wa^ absolutely true.

My -vnlfe and I are leaving p4::t week for Indiana, where we plan
to stay imtil about the first of December. Aiiyone who v:ouid like
to hear us concerning oiar/work in the Indiana-Ohio-Illinois-Mentucky-

^ennessee region can contact us by va-*iting to Damion Eilett, Morganto-v/n,

Indiana. V/e hope to obtain some support for my wife, the Clinic and
with materials for publishing Sunday School supplies in Spanish.
We announced earlier Concerning opening a Christian Clinic here

in Saltillo.

We had/to close it dovm pai-tly because \ie didn't

have the funds to o^rate it and partly because the doctor becpme
ill and was in bed ^or about two and one-half raonths. She is feeling
fine now.

In cooperation witAi the Harold Gibbses we have decided to start

publishing some Smiday School supplies in Spanish. At first it will
be Primary material which we \;ill compose ourselves or translate from
English. The pr^anting will be done by memeograph.
/

Hoping this fipds you all well.

In Him,

Damon Ellett
