Howewer, she married, was widowed and remarried, became Elizabeth Elwin de Gauterau. After their wedding, the Gauteraus moved to New York and later settled in San Francisco, California. A neighbor of the Gauteraus, Mrs. Able, invited Elizabeth to an Adventist meeting. There she accepted Christ and became a Seventh-day Adventist. In 1887 Elizabeth, eager to share her new faith, packed a trunk with books and magazines and returned to the Bay Islands, Honduras.
