Elder Davis points out that the numbers are real!
Our missionaries baptized 140 Guatemalans in the
month of February! Not since the creation of our
mission, have there been 140 baptisms in one month!

It is the simple things in life that count!

2011 February - La Costa Hermosa!

The beautiful black volcanic sand of beaches
in our mission on the Pacific coast...


It is sugar cane harvest time again and the white
tasseled sugar cane is everywhere...


To harvest the cane, the fields are burned at night
and by morning loaded on large trucks bound for
the processing plants. This happens 6 months of the year.
