Ndiyeno tsiku lina mu November 1958, ndinapita kukaona mlongo wina dzina lake Eneida Suárez. Ndili komweko, apolisi anafika n’kutigwira poganiza kuti tikuchita msonkhano. Tinauzidwa kuti tikhala m’ndende miyezi itatu komanso aliyense alipire chindapusa cha ndalama zokwana mapeso 100 (pa nthawiyo ndalamazo zinali zofanana ndi madola 100 a ku United States).”

Boma linachita chilichonse chimene likanatha kuti lilepheretse a Mboni kusonkhana koma sizinatheke. A Mboniwo ankayesetsa kukhala “ochenjera ngati njoka koma oona mtima ngati nkhunda.” (Mat. 10:16) Mlongo wina dzina lake Andrea Almánzar anati: “Tinkafika ku misonkhano pa nthawi zosiyanasiyana. Tikamaliza tinkayenera kuchokanso pa nthawi zosiyana n’cholinga choti anthu asatikayikire. Choncho enafe tinkafika kunyumba usiku.”

Tikamaliza misonkhano, bambo anga ankandiuza kuti ndiime pakhomo kuti ndiziona manambala a anthuwo. Ndinkawauzanso kuti achoke awiriawiri komanso kuti adutse njira zosiyana pochoka.”

Amayi a mlongoyu anamwalira iye ali ndi zaka 7 ndipo pa nthawiyo bambo ake anali kundende. Iye anatsala ndi azichimwene ake atatu ndi azichemwali ake 6. Mercedes anabatizidwa ali ndi zaka 9 mu 1959.
