The work goes on in Mexico





This is Maria Escoba. She is about 70 years old, we are not sure. She cannot see very well, but she still works, lives alone and takes care of herself. We tracted into her several months ago and she wasn´t interested. However, our security guard, who is a member of the church, gave her a blessing and she asked him how to learn more. We taught her, with the help of the Elders. She was ready for a change and her only question was, "How much does it cost to be a member of the church?" We taught her about tithing and fast offerings, the Articles of Faith and when we challenged her to be baptized she accepted. She is so tiny. All the little kids over 8 years love to be seen with her because she is so little. We just love her!
Hope all is well on the homefront.
Much love to all...
