About 35 years ago Alfono Ramirez Rivera and his brother went into town with their dad. Their dad was a drunk and often came home bloody and beaten. One particular man seemed to take pleasure in hurting him. They saw the man that day and he threatened to kill their dad. He then came after the old man. Bro. Ramirez defended his father with his machete taking his life. The First Presidency approved the baptism of this 84 year old man. He can't read. He told me in the interview that one of the things he loves most about life is sitting in the evening with his wife while she reads him stories of the prophets of the Book of Mormon. He loves the fact that we have a living prophet today. In his letter requesting baptism he wrote (through the missionaries) I don't know Thomas S. Monson, but I know that he is a prophet of God just like Joseph Smith was.
