next moderated a panel of four branch church members to explore how they overcame obstacles and began to glimpse the promise of Church in their own communities. They were Rita Robles from Fredericksburg, Virginia; Jim Mathiott of Palo Alto, California; Mónica Esefer Passaglia from Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Kodi Sylvester of Oneida, New York.
