She Would Rather Be at VBS
Vacation Bible School was
here ~and she would rather
miss a vacation trip to Acapul-
co with her parents than miss
VBS in 1976 at the l.a Sierra
Spanish Church.
Cecilia, a young lady {rom
Mexico, had attended Vacation
Bible School the previous year
at the invitation of Elder Me-
rardo Ledn's granddaughters,
Alicia and Monica Ledn. Stories
and songs she had learned there
were still fresh in her mind.
She is only one of the many
friends the Ledén girls have
taken to VBS in the last few
years.
Cecilia attends a Catholic
school In Mexico. After VBS
she asked the teaching nun in
her classroom why they did not
study the Bible as she had done
in VBS instead of spending so
much time with their catechism.
Her Catholic teacher agreed to
let her study the Bible in place
of her catechism and now her
whole class is studying the Bi-
ble with her!

I.a Sierra Spanish Church, has
enrolled Cecilia in The Voice of
Prophecy Bible lessons. Cecilia
has promised to enroll as many
of her friends as possible in her
hometown in Mexico as soon
as she receives her first lesson.
Mrs. Pena also gave Cecilia
and Elder I.eéon’s granddaugh-
ters a friendship quilt to work
on in Tijuana. There the grand-
daughters will hold a mini VBS,
teaching children the stories
and songs they learned this
year.
The La Sierra Spanish Vaca-
tion Bible School has indeed
been a light reaching as far
away as Mexico!

AMERICA
| used to look at the starry sky,
And | would always wonder why,
My country was so happy and gay,
On that great July 4th day,
And why the flag had stars and stripes,
And why Paul Revere rode that great night,
And why we sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
In such a very loyal manner.
But now | know about America
And how we came to be,
And | think it was worth it
‘Cause now we all are free!
