How do you guys like my new honey-colored back ground?

Hiya! I just wanted to correct myself in my earlier post on El Salvador, I wrote something along the line of it being "one of the safest countries in the world", however it is the safest country in the western hemisphere.

Heyy! I wanted to share something I recently found out about that I find absolutely incredible!! I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of the country, El Salvador, no? It WAS one of the most dangerous countries in the world, but now? It is now one of the safest countries, safer than the US. How, you ask? El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele!! Praise God!!!
