Zapotec church service- this is why we're all here

One of the helpers for our school time is a former homeschooling mom, current librarian and with her Zapotec husband is translating one that branches of his language. Turns out there are dozens of Zapotec dialects... and they all need Bibles. 

She took us to this sweet evening service. Her husband leads the weekday service in his native Zapotec. He speaks some English- he was her language tutor 25 years ago...:)   

This is their third church- home, garage, now a poured concrete building.  Heavy rains caused a small stream in the yard- we just waded over on rocks.  This is in a decent sized Mexican town, not their Zapotec village in the mountains.

What more can I say...so heartfelt. 

And true to the gospel. 

The evening got late for some. 

Everyone else was quiet and attentive.

The pastor spoke using slides from his computer!  He was great at soliciting questions and answers from the congregation. 

I tried to include a wonderful little video but it doesn't seem to want to load. It's too late at night to figure that out. I have to teach tomorrow!
