Elder Chase from Plain City, UT and Elder Lopez Pech from Mexico City served as zone leaders in Tuxpam, the northernmost zone of the mission. They are standing on the bridge which crosses the wide and beautiful Tuxpam River a couple miles before it dumps into the Gulf of Mexico.


Elder Lopez stands in the road, ankle deep in water after a summer rainstorm. He really isn't posing. That is how our missionaries have to get around in the colonias after heavy rains. Why isn't he wearing rain boots? Fungus grows in steamy, humidity filled boots and flourishes on missionary skin.
