Placeres has a job as a maid, cleaning houses and taking care of small children. For the past several years she has worked for several of the missionary families here in Santiago, DR. Many opportunities have arisen to witness to her and invite her to visit or attend our services and Bible studies. Another such opportunity arose when Placeres had her gallbladder removed this past month. 
We visited her several times at her home while she recuperated. On one visit we were able to again offer a law and gospel presentation to her. At the beginning of the presentation she said she hoped to go to heaven because she was trying to live a good life and do God’s will. After hearing about sin and how it has contaminated everything is us, she admitted that her life was too full of sin to be able to help her get into heaven.
We then spoke about the Savior, of Jesus as our substitute, and how His life and death have paid for our sins. When asked a second time if she thought she would go to heaven, Placeres responded, “Yes, because of all that Jesus has done for me.”
Glory be to Him who through a gallbladder operation opened the door to witness to this precious soul. Glory to Him!
