This is Tlacotalpan, a beautiful and unique community on the banks of the Paploapan River. It is a destination point because it has two beautiful Catholic cathedrals. The town is very small, a few thousand people. There is a branch of the Church there and two missionaries who meet together in a casa de oración, house of prayer--there is no chapel. Missionary work has been very slow. I talked with the stake president and told him that we would give it one more change cycle, 6 weeks, and if the missionaries didn't get something going we would have to move them. In the meantime, a man named Bro. Marquez, who lives in Veracruz, said that he wanted to go there and work with the missionaries. He is a Tlacotalpan native and still has family there. His wife helps with the mission home. Off he went. The first of the results are in the next post.
