Life in El Sal is good. The days are hot, but I don't know how
hot. It's normally pretty chill at night, so I'm
surviving--but surviving isn't really the hard part..haha... I think everyone says
that Sta. Rosa is hotter than San Miguel. I don't know if that's true or
not. It might get to 100 some days but idk for sure...
I can't wait to see Sallie. She'll be the biggest
change probably just because when I left she only had 1 month and didn't
really do anything. But I know that Delainey will probably blow
me away as well and Devin is indeed an old man. What does that say
about you then? =)
I can't wait to see the Olympics. It should be
sweet. I like watching the swimming and beach volleyball and it should
be fun to watch bball and soccer as well. The beach should be a fun
time...
Sta. Rosa is doing good. We had a good activity for
the youth on Saturday night--probably between 25-30 youth and young
adults with about 40 in all. We shared some principles from "For the Strength of Youth", played some games and a few participated in a game
that was like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" with the rest as the audience. It was a
fun activity and even though it didn't go entirely according to plan, it
was still cool and the youth and young adults enjoyed it for sure.
Also this week, 3 days straight people offered
us money. I don't know what was up with this week but people kept trying
to give us money and we had to keep saying "no, thanks, we don't need it. You keep it" and trying to not offend their offer. It was
interesting.
On Friday night a drunk guy came up to me
and put up his hand like he was gonna talk to me and so I just gave him
the bottle of juice I had and kept walking. I didn't even say anything. I
just gave it to him and kept walking. It worked...haha Luckily I had finished almost all of it so I didn't lose much.
From a church perspective, we had a good amount of
less actives in church so that was good to see and about 7
investigators. We have more than 10 that have come at least once, so
we'll see what happens with all of them. Things are going good
here. The branch is getting a little stronger every week from what I can
tell. I honestly love this area. I think this is the most fun I have
had in one area. So many good people here..
well, that's all I got. I keep forgetting to look through my journal to have things to say... Maybe next week...
Oh yeah, I forgot. One night we were walking and all of a sudden this cow turns the corner and comes trotting towards us and past us with a rope attached to it. We keep walking and turn the corner where it came from and then we see two guys and then they asked me something I thought I would never hear: "Have you seen a cow around here?" Definitely an El Salvador thing...
