Baxcaxbaltepec, which translated means Cerro de las Iguanas, which translated means Iguana Hill is a town of a couple of hundred people. The legend is that ten years ago missionaries went in and baptized the nearly whole town. Then, a beautiful chapel was built. The missionaries left at some point in time. The members got mad at the Church because promises were allegedly made by the missionaries which were not kept. Perhaps some financial and employment-related promises were made. The district president wanted to donate the chapel to the community because only 12 or 15 people ever show up for services. I did not see things that way and we sent Elders Villalobos and Eduardo to the Cerro to reactivate the town, to reclaim the people. This is a photo of their first Sunday there and of the chapel. Good things will certainly happen there.

I served in this area in 2006. Thanks for posting these pictures! I knew Hna. Pilar. I can't believe she went through the temple finally. That just made my night. Thanks!
