We are thrilled that Fifty students are planning to come to Puerto Rico Baptist College this year! We have 43 students registered for the fall semester and expect another eight after Christmas. Some of our Mexican students are having trouble with their visas but most of them have been cleared to attend. The school is getting crowded! We hope, that with your help, we can build a second floor on the men's dorm soon.
A note of praise: The neighbors sold their property and removed the chain link fence, leaving our school without one. We estimated the cost of a new fence would be about three thousand. We have $1,500 for this, but need help for the remainder. Today at lunch Dr. Casillas, the Puerto Rican college president, opened a letter and hollered "Hallelujah!" right in my ear. He showed us a $1,000 check that came to help us get our fence! What is even more thrilling is that it came from a Puerto Rican church here on our island! I love it when the mission churches graduate, turn around and help the work of missions!
