Leslie was born into a strong and committed Christian family. She accepted Jesus as her Saviour when she was 6 years old and grew to understand the meaning of salvation, living in Christ, and the eternal hope we have in Him. When she was baptized, her pastor gave her Ephesians 2:10, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” This verse has guided her serving for the Glory of God.

Leslie has been married to Ruben since 1983. They have 4 adult married children. One boy and three girls. They also have numerous grandchildren! They have been living in Canada since 1986 after emigrating from Argentina. Leslie and Ruben have been members of Waverley church since 2004. Leslie really enjoys time with her family and church family, cycling, pickleball, volleyball, traveling and being active outdoors as she enjoys God’s amazing creation.

John Wesley said, “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”
