On Saturday Brother Vargas, and his wife took me to a place called "Lake Rosario," far from Esquel, more than 60 km on a gravel road. We arrived to the place after noon. We visited the home of a believer of the Message named Segundo, his wife's name is Elba, who had recently been operated on for cancer, the rapidity in which the sister was healed of her wounds being miraculous, to the surprise of the doctors. This humble home is the place where these two people raised their children, in midst of very hard winters, abandoned even by the government, and only sustained by the hand of God. Today they care for their grandchildren and on occasions, that their work permits them, go on the road of more than 60 km to visit the church of the Message in Esquel. Brother Segundo was delivered by the Lord from a grave addiction of alcoholism, which kept him on occasions drunk for months without returning home. Today all that is in the past. God has made of this man, a man free from alcoholism.

In that same place of "Lake Rosario," is found another elderly couple, sustained by time in the hard daily battle by earning a bite of bread in the cold of the winter. Perhaps, surely, with the only reason of being possessors of a very great Treasure, some few Words of the Gospel, received by a heart needy of God and by a pastor of more than 67 years of age, Brother Guillermo Vargas. This couple of gold, Brother Franco and his wife Dorila, say they do not remember when it was that they got married. What Brother Franco does not forget was the day that he arrived to Esquel, very sick, close to death, and could not eat and was standing only by a miracle. That day the brother, before stepping into the Hospital of Esquel, visited the church of the Message in Esquel. There the prayer of faith of the faithful brought the Lord on the scene and health returned to this insignificant peasant, keeper of sheep and goats, and with a noble heart, has his arm open to receive the visit of a brother, in his humble home in the mountains. When I saw this man, I remembered his dad, by the form of his hair, the color of his skin, his form of expressing himself and the dignity with which he directed himself.

The sun was going down when we began the trip back. When we arrived to Esquel, the wife of Brother Vargas prepared the supper, and now late, when we had ended the meal, the sister commented to me, the teaching of men who told her that she was not saved, and there was no possibility of salvation for her. The sister cried while she told this. She expressed moments of anguish that she lived and how she wanted to die, while she was trying to find God in her prayers. She stopped reading the Message, lived moments of pain and sadness, until one day, God showed her, by the message Countdown, that William Branham was His prophet. Although she still did not understand where she could find her salvation, she decided to continue in the Message.

I took a long time explaining that salvation is one thing that a minister cannot question. There is a price paid for our salvation, the sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. It was not in vain. God made the deposit, then I accept it, and it is the end of all question. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ. This payment is so great, so great, that the Bible says: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your house." They can say that I am this, that I am that, and they can bring to remembrance my past thousand of things...but...I am a repented sinner, recognizing that I am nothing and that only one thing can correct, change, and restore my condition, and that is the shed blood of a spotless Lamb, without defect, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ No one can take it away. The sister found comfort again.

On Sunday, in the morning, we had the last meeting in the church. I did not have a TV to show the videos, so I used a player that I had brought on the trip to show the video, "The Prophet’s Hometown." It was of much blessing to those present. I also spoke about the work that VGR is carrying out and the importance of counting on the correct translation to avoid confusion. It is very important to read and to hear the Voice of the Sign that is in the messages and on the tapes, translated correctly. That is the work of VGR, to provide only the Message and not something else.

The brethren were very grateful. They send special thanks and recognition for the work of our brethren in USA.
