?Donde Esta Mi Carro?

Well another week in paradise. Gotta be real this week had its ups and downs but I really cant complain when I got the chance to live in the one, the only APOPA CITY. Its been a blast here and even tho we ended up running back and forth in mototaxi for hours to bring Don Paco to church, and we were gifted so many pupusas that my comp hid some in his backpack when they weren't looking. Also I played piano in our ward for a couple of songs and it went absolutely horribly, but it was an experience. And experiences are something that we never run short of here. Highlight of the week was probably when we had what the Salvadoreans call a pupuseada. Basically my dreams came true. The entire city was invited and we cooked up some mean pupusas here in the church, and yes we ran out of salsa but it was a day I will never forget. Also got the chance to go and visit some other areas with my companion and we had a good time pretending we knew the area and talking with people as if we were locals. Been keeping it real and playing a lot of soccer on Mondays too so we're keeping Gringo Messi alive. On the real tho we had a couple lessons this week that really taught me an important lesson.

We were teaching someone and they just really didn't want to pray. So I said look whats your favorite food? and she said Fish. So I say alright here's the deal, on the other side of that door (as we pointed at a door) there's a bunch of fish. You want some? And she goes, yes. So I say great.  Now we are just going to wait for the fish to open the door. The point of the example is that the blessings or the results that we want don't come to us. We don't wait for God, God waits for us. I think too many times we put off what we have to do, or justify our lack of action saying that we are waiting for a sign, or waiting for God to do something. But we shouldn't wait for God to do our part for us, he is the one waiting for us. Another friend asked us if he was doing everything right, where were the blessings? (He wanted a car more than anything to explain my title.) But It really made me think. As we grind and do our part, we have the habit of looking at what others have, or we look at what we lack instead of recognizing all God does for us. In the end, don't wait for God, don't look at what you lack. Just do all you can do and in the end it all works out. Not saying we are all gonna get cars, and I definitely didn't promise that to this friend, but it all works out at the end of the day. We just gotta do our part.

Hope everyone has a great week!

SALUUUU,
