A Bible and dental floss by Linda Lane

We donated a 123-year- old Bible, its rusted metal clasps being held together with dental floss, to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The Bible was originally used in a Protestant church in Oklahoma, USA, from a private family there, and a 92-year-old Seattle woman gave it to a friend who gave it immediately to me in West Seattle. The elderly lady has family but no one is Christian.
