After what another half-hour of hiking, Zachary checked his watch.  It was midday and when they breached through the trees and found themselves in a clearing, he stopped and turned to the others  "Why don't we stop for an half-hour and have some lunch?  We've made good time, but we can't spread the Word on an empty stomach."  Zachary unslung his frame and gestured for them to do likewise.  He opened the top of his frame, looking at the packages of food that the Valley People had prepared for them before they had left.<br/><br/>"But before we eat, let us say Grace.  Miguel, join us."  Zachary stretched out his hands to the others.
