The missionaries, Elders Melchor and Brown, never gave up. Here we see Bro. Marquez smiling with his family, all in street clothes, the day of their baptism. They paid bus fare, 25 pesos each, to go the chapel in Carlos A. Carrillo to be baptized. The man, who is Bro. Marquez' nephew, and his wife were baptized with their daughter on her 8th birthday. About two or three weeks later, the man baptized his nephew as four other family members were baptized at the same time. Two Sundays ago, he was leadoff speaker in the conference of the Tuxtepec Stake. The work is continuing in Tlacotalpan. The second foto is of their very humble home in that beautiful town. We have been in the home. I wish I could have taken pictures. A true shanty, no front door, one room divided by a hanging curtain to separate sleeping quarters from living room, clean as a whistle.
