!?De Verdad?!

This week was quite the ride for your boys down in Las Canas. We had meetings like daily which was a good time, found out some crazy news-stay tuned for the announcement next week. Some other highlights were teaching a really cool guy with no legs who had just some very confusing stories, finding a huge bible for Candido, using Kevin's bike to ride through the streets, got told (with "biblical evidence") that we are all aliens, and got saved by Miracle Buses 4 straight nights. Basically, we got stuck in some sketchy areas pretty late at night and the buses stopped passing by. 4 straight nights walking home, empty buses who were already done with their shifts gave us rides home. God is real, God is good. 

Another one of God's creations that we were lucky enough to discover was papas fritas on the streets. Mayo, ketchup, cheese and pure fried potato. And we got some buds on the main street that sell it so we got hookups. So all in all a pretty killer week, and for the climax...

ESPERANZA AND NATALY BOTH GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! 

I haven't talked a whole lot about them because it was pretty touch and go for a little while, but they are absolutely amazing. Esperanza has been looking into the church for years now, like YEARS. And her kids, except for Nataly were all members. We have been teaching her since like mid' December and this week both her and her daughter were baptized. The entire ward was there to support. It was pretty awesome honestly, and that family makes some bomb pupusas so we ate good too. But honestly this baptism has been the highlight of my time here in Ilopango, if I am allowed to pick one, and it was way cool to see everyone come together to make it happen. To explain my title, just want to explain that skepticism translates, and as two Gringos out here tryning our best to explain things in Spanish, we get the phrase de verdad like constantly. But to get spiritual like always, I am just glad we get the chance to be spreading that verdad, and yeah people don't always accept it, or don't always want to listen, but remembering what the verdad is, and seeing people like Esperanza and Nataly follow it' that makes it all worth it. Hope everyone has an awesome week, stay real.

Salud
