San Salvador, El Salvador — Salvadorans have endured plenty of emotional scrapes and bruises in recent decades. Many here have lived through devastating earthquakes, economic struggle and the horrors of civil war. But despite such hardships, Salvadorans are a resilient lot. Many say their future promises better days ahead.

That optimism was on display over the weekend as LDS Salvadorans celebrated the opening of their nation's first temple with thanksgiving, song and dance.
