Thank you for your congratulations on my baptism. I’m very happy about the step
I have taken and hope to grow in understanding so that I can better preach the
Kingdom of God to others. I’ll begin by telling you that some years ago I prayed
that God would show me the true way and this He did a year and a half ago when I
opened the web page www.labiblia.com and I began to find out the truth. Bro. Jim
Hunter and his wife sent me correspondence courses to which I replied step by
step. Then I received a letter to the effect that some Brothers and Sisters
overseas would be coming and studies would be given at the Hotel Gran Palace in
Santiago. There I met Sis. Leonie Verster and Bro. Hugo Petrilli and they
encouraged me to continue. A little later I received the manual Bible Basics
which helped me a lot to understand the truths of the Bible. On the 19 October
at 19.00hrs I was immersed in water in the presence of Bre Robert Alderson, Hugo
Petrilli, Ruben Barboza, Sis. Gisella Pintado and two students who had stayed
after the studies. This briefly is my testimony. I appreciate your words and
hope that you will be praying for us. I’m the first Chileno, I think, to be,
baptised – that’s something historic isn’t it?! A warm hug and greetings to all
the brotherhood.

You sent us a copy of Bible Basics in Chinese for a woman who came to our ‘Learn to Read the Bible Effectively’ seminar. You will like to know that she has expressed an interest in studying for baptism. To God be the glory! We are thrilled.
