Jessica and I are proud to have successfully (more or less) commented at every meeting so far. Despite the fact that our hearts nearly stop, it is a fairly painless experience, and everyone is very encouraging afterward. We think the only reason they understand us somtimes is holy spirit.
Also, I gave my first presentation at the door! It was not pretty, but that is why we have two people at the door-the second person is there to explain to the householder what you actually meant.
It is hard to pick a good experience to share because things that would constitute a great day in service for us in the states are so common in this territory. There is a Bible discussion at every door. Laura started three new bible studies on the Direct Approach Day, making her total (if these new ones study) 19. When we start having our own experiences (that is, when we start taking doors by ourselves), we will share them with you.
Going in service on a motorcycle :) :)
Playing Sequence (thank goodness it comes with directions in Spanish!)
We had one game with 10 people on two teams. You can't avoid table talk with 10 people.
Here is a hastily-made video entitled "Ode to Colombia":
It seeems one of the Gringas has the "colita" action down pat... a bandeja Paisa will do that to you, you know!
