Monclova

I just had an informal visit to Monclova Mexico. 25 people gathered in a hotel conference room to meet a Christian Science (me) and to talk about Christian Science. It’s a long story but one woman, Dora, contacted Cristina from C. Victoria. Cristina sent her a S&H and has been in email contact. Dora then began telling all her friends about CS. They began buying S&H through Cristina. Most everyone in the room had brought their Bible and Science and Health. We talked for 2 hours. At the end of it, a young man stood quietly at the door. As people were leaving he came in and told me that he’d been praying. And that God had told him to come to this hotel that there would be someone who could pray with him. So he’d walked to the hotel (which is all by itself not in a business district), and decided that I was the person God wanted him to talk to. We talked together briefly, prayed together, and he told me he was healed, the pain had gone away. Cristina had brought one copy of S&H with her so I gave it to him. The only copy of S&H available at that time in Monclova.

I met again with 17 of them the next day before we left. At the end of that meeting, they decided to start meeting every Weds to talk about the Bible Lesson together (which they’d just discovered existed). They are going to subscribe to the Bible Lesson and I encouraged them to subscribe to the Herald as well.

You knew that the group in C. Victoria is now a Society! They are now building a church on the outskirts of town because they are outgrowing their church space on the side of Cristina’s house. They are also now building a Reading Room space! I’ll have to tell you the whole story sometime when I have more time, but the bottom line is that an inspiration came to Cristina to have a second story RR on the side of her property in downtown C. Victoria that had a separate access from the street. Then the money to build it came in a divinely guided unfoldment and they are right now in the process of building the Reading Room!
