On Mule Back Thru Central America with the Gospel

Set in the early 1920s, this vivid memoir follows a small family from Los Angeles as they answer a call to spread the gospel across Central America. Their journey begins aboard a cargo ship, winds through the ports of Mexico, and soon they are on foot and mule, navigating rugged mountain trails toward remote villages. Along the way they encounter bustling market towns, quiet riverbanks, and the daily rhythms of indigenous life, all observed with a gentle curiosity.

The narrative captures both the physical hardships—heat, long walks, language barriers—and the unexpected moments of grace that keep the travelers moving forward. As they preach, teach, and share simple acts of kindness, they witness the first stirrings of faith among people who have never heard the message before. The account offers a sincere portrait of devotion, courage, and the quiet ways a determined family can make a lasting impression on a distant land.
