On November 11, Julio Valverde, a WEI teacher in Lima, Peru, wrote, “This past week, we baptized an old lady at her home in her bath tub. She is very old and sick, but she understood and wanted to obey this biblical teaching. She speaks Quechua, the language of the Inca descendents. I preached [in Spanish,] and Maximo translated.
“We made arrangements for this new born to see all her children and grandchildren.”
On December 5, Julio wrote, “I reported to you that Maximo, the preacher in Los Pinos, and I went to the mother of Antonio Lopez. Finally, she was baptized in her own bath tub, and we prayed for her in her delicate old age and sick. Now, we learn that she passed away this past week.
“We are waiting to go to this family to express our sorrow but also our hope in Jesus.”
