The Summer of 1958

In summer of 1958 I spent 2 months with my brother Wayne and his family, in southern Mexico. He directed the training camp for all new missionaries going out with Wycliffe Bible Translators. There was a woman who ran a trading store on their compound. Her husband had been tragically murdered two years prior to this time. One day she called for the MAF airplane to fly her to Mexico City and after she returned it was learned that she had an abortion while in the city. Since she had not had a husband for two years she tried to say she had not had any relations with a man and could not understand how she was pregnant. Of course this could not be true and she was told that there was only one virgin birth and this was when Jesus was born. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
