My father-in-law, Ronald Hall, has been president of the mission there for the past three years. He was released in July of this year. He said El Salvador is currently baptising aprox. 600 each month. That is the highest per missionary per country in the world! Several new stakes were created this year. By the way Zacatecoluca is currently in the East mission boundries not the West, even though the stake falls in the jurisdiction of the West. For any who would like to contact Presidente Hall, he and Hermana Hall are leaving in September to teach English in China.
