| Samuel Diaz is one of Roberto's many success stories. Samuel grew up in the children's home that Roberto started. He then went on to graduate from Baxter Institute and join the first team of native spanish speaking missionaries for the Continent of Great Cities. They started a strong congregation in a northern part of the city of Bogota, the capitol of Colombia. Samuel is now preaching at the Ramón Amaya congregation in Tegucigalpa and working on his Doctorate in Theology. Nice sombrero, Samuel. |

| Marcos Sanchez helped lead the service for Roberto at the congregation Barrio Villa Verde. You may recognize him from a 'What's up at the MPRC' as the administrator for our internet provider. He is a powerful singer. |
