Brother Juan Carlos: They were a part member family and we could
find him through his wife. He is a good man and his wife has been in
continuous prayer and fasting and after 16 years of investigating the
church we could see what her great desire for her husband is: to be
sealed in the temple with his family. The brother has great love for the
atonement of Jesus Christ. He is a great example for his family and for
us. He also wishes to endure to the end to achieve the purpose that our
Heavenly Father has for each one of them.

Claudia had known the missionaries since time, but I did not progress,
if not until a few months later, she began to see the goodness of the
Lord in her life, received an answer and acted accordingly. Now she
wants to share her testimony with others.
Elder Argüello, Elder Cangas

Gloria met the church a year ago through some friends,
but it was not her time. This year she recognized the
blessings that the gospel brought to her and her family.
In preparation for her baptism, Gloria searched constantly
for personal revelation through the Book of Mormon and
attending Church. She received several answers and made
the decision to be baptized.
Hermana Herman, Hermana Velazquez
Gloria conoció la iglesia hace un año por medio de algunos
amigos, pero no fue su tiempo. Este año reconoció las bendiciones
que el evangelio trajo a su familia y ella personalmente. En
preparación para su bautismo Gloria buscaba constantemente
para revelación personal mediante el Libro de Mormón y asistiendo
la iglesia. Recibió varias respuestas y tomo la decisión de ser bautizada.
