We met this lady carrying groceries into her house and she let us come in and talk with her.
Later that night we went knocking in a mostly English speaking area and we had no luck and earlier a bunch of our lessons got canceled. It felt like we had no success that day but it was good to remember the small things and miracles we had seen. It ended up that the lady we had met let us in to teach her the next day and she made food which was a great pick-me-up.
We had dinner Sunday with a family and they made Ceviche with crab and shrimp which was good and we had tres leche cake which was amazing!
I think it is interesting how the Lord let's us struggle at times so that when good things come we feel joy so much fuller. I learned that this week; although one night we might not have had a lot of success and it was a little discouraging, it felt really amazing when the lady let us in and teach her.
I am excited for next week. We have another exchange and zone conference which should be fun!
