With great joy we witnessed the baptisms on August 3, 2025 of Lennart Blanco and Daniel and Lucrecia Astacio.

Our new brother Lennart was a postal student since 2009, always answering, but because of living out in the Inland Empire, a long way from Los Angeles, and having no transportation, he wasn’t able to attend the meetings.  With the advent of ZOOM he immediately began attending all our meetings as well as the public lectures in San Salvador.  He was able to attend in person a number of times as well.  It gives us great pleasure to have him as part of the family.  He already is supporting the various ecclesial classes with readings and prayers.

Bro. Daniel and Sis. Lucrecia were Adventists – Daniel being a pastor for 21 years.  But they began to notice that the teachings weren’t really what the Bible said.  They began their own study, but thought that there was no church in the world that taught what they had discovered.  Then they found *labiblia.com* and were overjoyed to see that there WAS someone who understood Bible teaching.  They live in Houston, Texas and have attended the ecclesia there a few times, but found that not speaking the language made fellowship difficult.  They attend the LA Hispanic ZOOM meeting and Daniel is already doing readings and prayers.  They were delighted that their daughter, who lives in San Bernardino, was able to attend their baptisms.
