While my mother was on a visit to Denmark in 1933, Christian Science was presented to her and she started to study it. After coming back to Argentina and living in a place where communications were difficult, and not knowing of any other student, she discontinued her study. After the Second World War she made a second visit to her homeland and began again to look into Science. She found it so wonderful that she prayed she might be able to present it to me when she returned.
In the meantime I went to her home to look after her things. I looked with curiosity into an old Journal, and even though at that time I did not know English, I had a glimpse of what Science is, and decided that if God could do all these wonders He could also teach me English so that I could learn to help others through Science. It took me three months to get a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. A few months later my husband was associated with an English engineer, and because of the work he and his wife came to live in our home during different periods. As my husband speaks English, the conversation was always in English, and in this way I learned it.
I started my study of Science by reading the Bible, together with a noncurrent Christian Science Quarterly I found in my mother's literature. A few days after I began to read, it came to me very strongly to visit a friend. I found her desperate. Her daughter-in-law had that morning given premature birth to twins. One child had passed on, and the life of the other and the mother were in danger. I was so full of the revelation that God is Love that I realized He would not permit death to destroy the happiness of welcoming the first child after several years of marriage.
