Eduardo Balderas: Father of Church Translation, 1907-1989

Eduardo Balderas: Father of Church Translation tells the story of a child refugee from Mexico whose family came to live in Texas in the 1900s. There he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, served a mission, became a branch president, and began translating for the church. He went on to translate the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrine and Covenants, Jesus the Christ, church manuals, and the temple ceremony. He also founded the Spanish-language Liahona magazine, helped establish the church translation department, and served as a patriarch for Latinos in the US and other parts of the Spanish-speaking world.
