!Hola Familia!

This past week has been a really great week and a really
crazy week. First the crazy. Here in El Salvador there are huge
problems with gangs here especially the gang called "MS13".
And this past week for three days they basically held the
country hostage they had all of the markets closed and almost
all of the public transportation shut down. It was a little nerve
racking because we had to be in the house by 6 o'clock every
night and not a whole lot happened here in Santa Anna but in
the Capital a lot of scary stuff happened. But heavenly father
was watching out for all of us and nothing happened to any of
us. But the Lords Work will continue forward boldly and nobly
and there is nothing that Satan can do about it and this past
Saturday we finally had the wedding and the baptism of Wilber
and Sugey who originally had a date for the 31st of August but
because they had to work out a lot of the paperwork they had
to wait until this past Saturday but it was a really great
experience and we also baptized their eight year old nephew
also. I'm going to put the pictures on here so you can see.
But its just so amazing to see that in the midst of all of this
turmoil we can find so much peace in this world when we were
at the baptism on Saturday it just felt like everything was on
pause and that we were really able to understand what matters
in this life. I love you guys so much and am so grateful for the
examples that you set for me every week. I know that as long as
we just stay faithful and be obedient nothing can touch us.

Love, Elder Bever
