My area consists of a bunch of little neighborhoods and then an area that is called Las Tomas. It's basically just a bunch of shacks that have no running water, heat, or light. This is where we spend a lot of our time because there are a lot of people prepared to accept the gospel in this part of town. Actually, it feels like everyone in this town wants to accept the gospel!! Right now, we have SEVENTY AMIGOS that we are working with right now. San Felipe is popping off to say the least. However, a lot of people want to listen but few want to commit. So in reality we onlyhave about 20 amig...
