Christmas Zone Conference in the South - 3 Zones - 50 Missionaries

Had another great time with our Missionaries - They are the Best

Primavera

Primavera - is a beautiful city of about 80,000.

There is no Branch or Ward the but we found some members

living there and President received permission to organize a Group

A Group is smaller than a Branch.

We attended the Group there and is was a wonderful experience.

After - we attended a baptism. Because there is no font the Baptism was done at a near by river.

The water was so cold but the Spirit was so warm.

The membership in the church there is growing fast here.

This sweet lady is the Sister who prayed for the Church to come to Primeravera. The Group meeting is held in their home outside in the back yard.
The family is below. Her husband saw the Elders on the Street one day. We didn't have Elders in this city but for one day they went with the District President to this city. The lady's husband saw them and chased after them. This began the process of finding out there are members of the church in Primavera and the process of organizing a Group in Primavera. As is grows we hope to have a strong Branch there.
