Seth didn't send any pictures so I went on-line to get a picture of the chapel in Coatzacoalcos because this building figures prominently in his last email.


Here is the related extract from his email.

I guess the highlight of the week is that we had 2 baptisms. After a ton of opposition and problems we were able to baptize Karina Gomez Gallegos and Williams Rodriguez Sanchez. I think it might be entertaining for you to hear what happened. We finalized the interviews Thursday, and I asked for keys to the church to be able to empty, clean, and fill the font. The people who were going to give them to us forgot 3 times to pass by, and an hour before the baptism we still didn't have them. We called someone else in a hurry and met him at the church. But as it turns out the pump was out of service, so we just had to throw some cleaning products in the water and fish out the cockroaches. Only 1 family arrived and the spouse of Karina for her baptismal service, and Williams didn't arrive. We cut our losses and did a small service for her which turned out fine. Then returning from her service we were informed that Williams was walking towards the church, which is about one hour away, and the members picked him up and we returned to the church and did another baptismal service for him. In the end, what was important happened, and they were both confirmed the next day.

I would say Seth is pretty good at thinking on his feet.

Here is his testimony. "Testifico que estas cosas son verdaderas, y que la sabiduría de Dios es más grande que la de Satanás. Testifico que Su Plan para nosotros es perfecto, y cada cosa ha sido, o será, proveído para que tengamos la oportunidad de arrepentirnos. Gracias por sus oraciones y ayunos. Oro para ustedes constantemente." (I testify that these things are true and that the wisdom of God is greater than that of Satan. I testify that His plan for us is perfect and that all things have been or will be provided so that we have the opportunity to repent. Thanks for your prayers and fasting.. I pray for you constantly.)
