<TITLE>23. Par 83-86</TITLE>L-83 Here not long ago, I was down in Mexico holding a meeting, and there was a--a little Mexican woman that had been... I guess four or five thousand outstanding things had been done. The night before an old, blind Mexican come across the platform. I was only there, just the same as this meeting here, three nights. And we had that big bull ring, and there was thousands times thousands swarmed out there. Some of you Assembly of God, I tell you who was interpreting for me, one of your men, Brother Espinosa, there in California, Mexican interpreter. And we were standing there.
They had to come around... There was so many in there, put a rope around my arms to let me down on the backside of--of the--the big bull ring. And when we was standing out there on the platform... Raining, been raining all day. Those poor Mexicans, not a place to set down; they just leaned against one another. And we can't set five minutes. We're doomed. That's all. Sure. They couldn't... They--they'd stayed there all day, leaning against one another.

L-84 That night, when the prayer line started, and I started to pray, there was an old Mexican man come across, and ragged, and was blind. And I looked at him. And my shoes, I'd have give them to him but they wouldn't fit him. And poor, old fellow probably never had a good meal in his life. And I put my arm around him, and prayed for him, 'cause you've got to feel for the people. If you don't, you might as well let them alone. So I prayed for him. His eyesight come to him. Oh, my.

L-85 The next day, a little woman was at the doctor's office. Her baby took pneumonia out there in that rain. And a little lady, she went to the doctor with it, very bad pneumonia. And it died that morning at nine o'clock in the doctor's office. And that night at ten-thirty, she was standing in that rain, standing out there trying to get that baby in to be prayed for, after dying that morning.
Now, this is wrote with doctors' signed statements. The Christian Business Men's journal packed it. The "Voice" of the Christian Business Men just packed the article just recently. You probably have read it. And so... but to make a document... To make a statement like that, you--you better have it documented right, because they can make you get in trouble over it. So these things are true.
And there that night, Billy come up to me, and said, "Daddy, that fellow give out them prayer cards, give them all out. And they got a little woman standing there." Said, "I got three hundred ushers over here, and they can't even hold her." Said, "She runs between their legs and everywhere." She was persistent. She was Catholic too to begin with. And there she was.

L-86 And so, after while, I said, "Well, Brother Jack Moore..." I said... (Many of you know Brother Jack Moore.) I said, "You go down and pray for the woman. She don't know me. My, she never seen me; so many people jammed in like that."
And I said, "As I was speaking, faith..." And I looked, and standing in front of me was a little baby with no teeth here, a little Mexican baby looking at me, smiling: a vision. I said, "Wait a minute. Tell the ushers to step back and tell the lady to come here." Here's my Bible. I've got to meet God someday. That's right.
And so, they brought the little baby up on the platform. She begin to holler, "Padre, Padre (means father, you know)." I told her... Brother Espinosa to tell her to stand up. She had a blanket laying over the baby, water dripping, her hair down. A real nice, clean-looking, little woman. And--and she run up hollering like that, and her baby...
