When the Correas accepted the challenge to be baptized, all week prior to the event Brother and Sister Correa discussed her reluctance. She had not received the testimony her family had. Brother Correa wanted to be baptized, but not without his wife. Their daughter Virginia settled the discussion by announcing that she would be baptized with or without her parents Brother Correa decided the family would be baptized as planned. Sister Correa still wasnt fully convinced and it wasnt until the last minute that she decided to be baptized. But when the ordinance was completed, a marvelous feeling came over her. The life of the Correa family changed as they became more active in the Church, but was marred when Virginia died about seven months after the baptism. Neighbors of the Correas blamed her death on the change in religion but the Correas drew strength from the Churchs teachings. They knew that Virginia would someday be reunited with the family. Then, some years later, Brother Correa died of a heart ailment. Following this, Sister Correa and Rosita decided on the goal of completing the temple work for their families.
