Holy of Holies‏

And so has passed Holy Week! Holy Week in El Salvador mostly means that 80% of people aren't working and 70% of people are in family reunions or at the beach. So it was kind of weird but now we're back to normal.

Notable things this week:

Lunes: Interviews with President! All is well allí.

Miércoles: In District Meeting I basically just taught everything that the Seventies and Apostles have told us to do in our Mission since I came here.

Jueves Santo: Temple Trip, highlight being seeing la familia M, whom I taught almost a year ago in Soyapango! They are fantastic cool people.

Viernes Santo: Easter Devotional with impromptu talk by yours truly.

Saturday: cancelling appointments and two dinner appointments because they were mostly with women and we wanted them to go to the Women's General Session.

And last night, we had a long conversation with a drunk who tried to accompany us to our next visit. He knew Hebrew or Arabic and is a Jew. He introduced me to his children since he was beyond excited about me being a white guy of pure white descent. He was also impressed that I knew that the Book of Lamentations was written by Jeremiah. It was a pretty weird experience but weird can be good. Maybe we'll be able to teach him one of these days. Don't touch alcoholic anything.

In contacts, we have one young man who should get baptized before I go home. He's named C. He just moved in with his older sister who is a convert of some 7 months or so. He prayed last night that everyone we invited would feel a need to come to Church, so I'd say he's very close to ready.

In my District, there's a couple that should also get baptized soon. It's cool because Elder S found them with me 10 months ago on divisions and now I'm in a position to interview them for baptism. They've had legal problems getting married but everything's getting resolved.

So yeah. We keep moving forward. I'm going to finish the Book of Mormon one time more before going home.

"H" "R" FUEGO!
