Ernesto Diaz

Brother Ernesto Diaz and his two daughters, Jazmin and Joy.
__________________________________________
It is a great privilege for the White Memorial Church to
count among our members Mr. Ernesto Diaz and his
family.
Our dear brother Ernesto is a native of the town of Jalapa
del Marquez, in the state of Oaxaca (southwest Mexico).
His entire childhood and early youth was spent far from
God and with no religion at all. That changed 16 years ago
when he was introduced to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is
now his best friend and protector. For several years he
was a member of the Lincoln Heights SDA Church, not
far from us. Five years ago he started working at the
White Memorial Church as our custodian and maintenance
expert. He has since transferred his membership here.
His job requires him to do the general cleaning, upkeeping,
maintenance, and repairs of the WMC buildings. Ernesto
explained to the WMC Talk Blog that every room in the
church needs to be cleaned at least once a week. Certain
rooms require cleaning with more frequency than that.
Ernesto takes care of all routine problems dealing with
plumbing, electricity, storage, and safety. He receives
only occasional help from a gardener who works for two
hours twice a week plus another cleaning person who
comes to clean the main sanctuary every Saturday night.
Ernesto is usually finished with his work by 5:00 pm,
but on more than one occasion he has received calls to
come back to the building to help solve an urgent problem
regarding flooding or toilet failures.
Our brother Ernesto is married to Abigail, a native of the
state of Guerrero in Mexico. Abigail works in the marketing
department for a local health clinic. They have four children
altogether. Two are attending public schools, while the two
daughters seen with him on this picture are receiving a little
scholarship help to attend White Memorial School. Joy is in
third grade. Jazmin is in 6th grade and is already baptized.
They are both members of the adventurers club at Lincoln
Heights.
We encourage all of our brethren to keep Ernesto and his
family in our prayers that their blessings may be
multiplied daily.
