What a weekend!!!

This weekend was pretty crazy!  So Friday Zach baptized Mariana Saldana.  She asked me to speak about baptism so I gave a talk.  Her Husband Mauricio and his brother Juan were baptized like 10 years ago before Mariana and Mauricio got married.  Mauricio and Juan have been inactive for a while but one day the missionaries knocked on their door and they were ready to hear the gospel and come back to church.  So it all started when on one Sunday we had the missionaries over for dinner and I told them that Zach speaks Spanish if they ever needed help with any investigators that speak Spanish they should have him come.  Well low and behold he went to the Saldana's house with them and eventually we all met.

Yesterday in church Zach gave Mariana the Holy Ghost and both of us spoke.  I also had to give a lesson in Sunbeams and Zach had to give a lesson in Gospel Principles.  To add to that Anna is potty training and she thinks she has to go pee 4 times during sacrament meeting and then again 2 times during class(can you imagine with trying to take Kali and Anna potty?).  Lets just say it was a busy day!  I hope this potty training thing gets a little easier cause right now it's just hard.  She is doing pretty well but still often pees a little in her panties before we actually get to the bathroom when we are out.  She does fine when we are at home but when we are out it's hard.  She is still having a hard time going poop in the potty.  She is doing better but she still wants to hold it forever until it is killing her.  The only way we survived the day was to find humor in the crazy situation.  One of the sisters from nursery came and gave Anna to me because she said she needed to go potty.  Well I took her and I should have brought my bag just in case but didn't so when I took Anna's panties off I accidentally dropped her panties into the potty (you can laugh it's okay) so I had to go back to the primary room and leave Anna in the bathroom without panties.  Well I finally made it back and the ladies in the Mothers lounge and I had a good laugh (I left Anna with them while I got the panties.)  Well one of the ladies said that a little girl that was potty training came to her house and would say that she had "the feeling" when she needed to go.  How cute is that?  Well anyways we survived that episode thanks to the panties we brought with us.  Then close to the end of class they came again saying she had to go.  So I took Anna again but this time the toilet broke...no JOKE!  So I investigated and the lever had just got off track so I fixed it and we were as good as new.  Let's just say it made the whole situation very entertaining and Anna was really worried about my breaking the potty.  Thank goodness for some good laughs through all of this.  Oh and to make matters worse the other teacher that teaches with me didn't come to church cause her daughter was sick so I was all by myself trying to do all this during the 2nd hour and thank goodness Zach came and helped me during the 3rd hour or I wouldn't have survived!

p.s When I get pictures of Mariana's baptism I will post some.
