This week was a roller coaster for sure. We had a zone meeting on Tuesday and it was really good but I kind of realized how we are so inexperienced and don't know how to speak or teach or anything. And I was kind of freaking out but then that same day we had a lesson with Hermana D, our investigator who is getting baptized on Saturday, and it went great! I still think that it's a little bit nuts that they just put two gringos together and let us loose on Santiago but I also know that as long as we are being obedient and doing as much as we can with what we know, that God is going to help us be successful. Hermana D doesn't need super experienced flawless teachers, she already has a testimony, she just needed someone to introduce her to the Book of Mormon and organize her baptism for her and we know enough vocabulary to do that! It is still hard sometimes but it is pushing me to rely on the Lord and realize that any of the success we are having has nothing to do with us or our abilities, it's all Him.
We had some fun at the tree burning party and we taught our first English class! English class is super fun and it has been an awesome way to contact people and get them to the church! Plus we take any excuse to be inside the church because, you know, air conditioning.
Funnies- So to knock at someones door you stand outside and yell buenas. So the other day we were going to visit a potential and we yell buenas really loud and wait to see if anyone is home and we hear someone yell buenas back and we are like great they are home so we wait for someone to come out and nothing so we yell it again and someone yells it back but no one comes out and we are so confused so we yell it one more time and then realize that no one is home, it's just the parrot in the backyard talking back to us!
