Elder Carter, ready to baptize, sits on a rock and sings the opening song. The service was held under the trees on the riverbank and was actually a very unique and moving experience. The girl standing next to Elder Carter is 17. Her 13 year old sister never misses church and bears her testimony of the Restoration every chance she gets. However, she also goes to the Catholic church on Sunday nights. She likes the images. Her sister to her left is 15. The next sister is 22 and attends university in Xalapa, the capital city of the State of Veracruz. The mom stands by Elder Rodriguez. She wants to be baptized, but her husband (to whom she is not married) objects. It is interesting that he signed permission slips for his daughters, but prevents his common-law wife from progressing.
