When it rains here, it does rain. Las Choapas is way south in the mission and sits on the border of the state of Chiapas. Last year the town seriously flooded in October. This year it waited until November. The missionaries were isolated there for awhile because all the bridges were flooded over. There were able to walk in most parts of the town, but sometimes a lancha was the only option.


You can see that the water in the streets is not very deep, only up to the knees, but it still flooded many homes. The elders live in a second floor apartment (by mandate) and were never in danger. All was well. The elders baptized four people in November--in the font in the chapel. The missionaries are Elders Medina and Curiel.
