We were able to baptize two men this past Sunday. At first, Mauricio scoffed when Steve talked to him about security of salvation (a big issue here in El Salvador). But with time and much conversation, Mauricio saw that Steve could use the Bible to answer all of his questions. He realized that he had much to learn and began studying the discipleship lessons with Steve. Now he is extremely faithful to all our services and has been baptized. 
A Happy Pastor with happy and wet Mauricio.
Here is Eric, the other young man that was baptized. Since asking Jesus to save him, he has been coming to every service, every teen activity, and is planning to attend the all-night Prayer Service that the men are having at the church.
Update: We do not have any new information on the young man who is dealing with extortion (he is the nephew of Mauricio, pictured at the top). He was at church on Sunday and seemed to be doing well. We are not sure how long this could drag out, or what the outcome may be (see our September prayer letter). Please continue to pray for this delicate situation.
