In May of 1988, the initial baptisms took place at the mission in Guatemala City. During the baptisms, several people witnessed a man dressed very humbly, without shoes, standing at the waters’ edge. He was touched by the baptisms and was weeping uncontrollably. He helped dry each of the new converts as they came out of the water. 

Following the baptisms he disappeared from the crowd. A woman who was on her way to witness the baptisms arrived late. As she was driving a few yards from the water, the man dressed humbly approached her car. She looked at him — his eyes reflected peacefulness, and he indicated that he was pleased. 

He started to walk away from the car. She turned around in her seat to speak to him, but he had disappeared. 

A later experience confirmed this visitor to be one of the three Nephites who had come to witness the first baptisms on this land in almost 2,000 years performed by the hand of authority that believes in The Book of Mormon and Bible.
