Gracias A Dios

Another week in paradise. Really technically 2 weeks cuz I didn't drop an update last week. But it's all good here in Apopa. Kinda crazy that I'm still here. I've been in this area for over 6 months now and I really do feel at home. "Apopence de cora" like we say here.

Things are all good tho, we've really been training hard in soccer because some local teams wanna show us what's up but I think we are gonna be all right. 

Elder Jimenez and I are still showering in rain water although we did get some water like 2 days this past week so that was a little miracle. Other than that and the random remarks about Donald Trump every 5 seconds in the street its been a good time. We had the chance to meet and teach some really awesome people this week and after visiting some of the very humble and sincere people of Apopa my companion and I started talking about the culture here. Something a lot of people say that sometimes is almost funny because of how often they say it is "Gracias a Dios," or "Thanks to God." And they say it about EVERYTHING. Literally. You finish eating? Gracias a Dios. You saw a friend in the street? Gracias a Dios. You pass your class in school? Gracias a Dios. EVERYTHING. The ability for people here to realize just how great Gods help is is incredible. And its something I'm trying to implement too. God looks out. He's there in every moment but sometimes we forget. And we have to remember that every moment and every good thing that happens really is a blessing and a miracle.
So yeah, good times, hope everyone has an amazing week!
