We’ve been working our tails off this week. Our area includes the main downtown, but almost all of our work is done on a lower shelf, closer to the banks of the river that runs through San Salvador. It makes a very abrupt distinction between the wealthier people and the poorer people. You can look up from the lower neighborhoods where we are working and see the nice buildings downtown. It’s a really weird mix.
There are also a lot of awesome views of the mountains because San Salvador is situated in foothills of the Andes Mountains. Some of them even have snow caps right now!
It was awesome to be able to share so much of our message of Jesus Christ with people this week in the spirit of Easter. People who would normally shut the door in our faces were super excited to watch a short video or listen to a scripture about the resurrection and sacrifice of Christ. Even if people don’t understand our beliefs or want to hear from us, the vast majority of the people here are still Christians who love to hear uplifting messages. It was a cool difference in this past week.
Jesus Christ suffered and died for every single person in the world. Because of this sacrifice, every single one of us can change and be better and receive His help in being better, and we will all be resurrected after this life. All of this for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we remember during Easter.

Here’s a link to my favorite video that the church has ever made. We watched it with people at least 50 times this week and I still love it.
