Elder Garcia is in the OldTown Spanish ward, and living in Alexandra which is a city in Virginia. He says that in the movie, "Remember the Titans" the high school that the movie was filmed at was actually in Alexandra! And it's right at the edge of his area! -- The live in apart of town dubbed "Chirilagua" because of all the Salvadorenos who live there from a place in El Salvador called Chirilagua. It's the ghettoest place in around here he says. Also, a few minutes north of them is a city called Crystal City. It is very nice will many high towers, the night life style place, and right and there is the Arlington National Cemetery which is very big and super gorgeous. There are a lot of movies that have filmed it.
Elder Garcia and Elder Oliverson had there little lemonade stand thingy last week, except they didn't have lemonade, they gave out free sodas instead. He said it was great! They made a trifold board and put "Meet the Mormons" on it in Spanish and in English right infront of the metro entrance, so alot of people got to see them. There were some who stopped to talk to them, and many others who didn't, but they enjoyed it and gave out around 6 copies of the Book of Mormon in 3 hours.
