" Together we began having meetings for the Indians, telling them in their own language the most wonderful story in the world, that of the Son of God who had come to earth and paid the price of man’s sin with his own blood. The recognition of God’s great love dawned slowly in the Indian mind. But one day we rejoiced as Atanasio said to Jim, “I am very old. Perhaps too old to understand well. But it seems to me your words are true. I will die in your words. "
