Hey friends! I have very little time today. But all is well in Ixtapaluca. The streets were pretty dead, starting Thursday because it´s Semana Santa…or Holy Week. Since the Catholic church celebrates a lot of the old Easter traditions still (like Good Friday, Saturday of Glory, etc), a lot of people left town and Friday was especially empty because everyone went to another town nearby where they have a reenactment of the crucifixion of Christ (broadcast to the whole country). However we still had a lot of people at church and we have many people on date for the next two weeks. This is the first week I don´t baptize in this area, but we´ll definitely be making up for it these next two weeks, and hopefully these new investigators that went with us to church progress so that we can keep bringing souls unto Christ.That´s all for today everyone! I know it isn´t the most exciting, but I promise next week´s will be! Have an awesome week
