“This is the story of my dear friend Elena. She cannot tell her own story, because she doesn’t live here anymore. She has graduated from this life and moved to heaven! It happened twelve years ago.

Elena was a decent, honest and hard worker. She was one of my closest friends. When she was sick, I almost had to force her to stay home and recuperate. She was a person that I could depend on not matter what.

One day, I started talking to her about God and telling her what Jesus had done for her and for me [on] Calvary’s cross. But she would said, “Anna, I am not going to change my parents’ religion.” We had some friendly discussion about Jesus’ family. That allowed me to open my Bible and share about our Lord’s family.

Every morning, I listened to The Winning Walk on our way to work. One morning when I was listening to Dr. Young’s sermon, Elena asked me, “Could you tell me what he is saying”? (Elena could only speak Spanish.) After the preaching was over, she accepted Jesus Christ as her own Lord and Savior.”
