I'm going to absolutely fail on the emailing today. Sigh. It has not been the most normal weekend to say the least, and today has just not been fun at all. But let's tell the good things first!
We had an awesome week! I really liked going up o Greifswald. It's so beautiful and right on the coast. It's a tourist and college town. It took 4 hours to get there! Then 4 hours back! So we had a longer exchange. Normally they both come down here but we thought it'd be better if we switched for real. That was a good spiritual time. I loved it and loved being with a young ready-to-learn comp for the day!
I also really enjoyed preparing for Zone Conference and giving a lesson with Sister Baldock. It went really well, probably the best I've ever felt about giving a workshop here! Well, actually this is only the 2nd one I've had.. but still it was cool and fun.
Saturday was so fun. We planned our day but it did not go at all like we expected. We helped clean up a wedding reception at the stake building. They loooooaded us with food from it, it was awesome. I can't believe it, the Mom made pretty much all of the food herself! That seems so stressful but it was delicious
Then we changed back into dresses and headed to a lesson on the way back. That was fun, she's Arabic and so cute. Her problem is that the Book of Mormon isn't the Koran... but we will talk about that. Haha then we get home and right away get a call from the Elders for an emergency painting moving service project. We throw our service clothes on again and go out and paint! That was really fun, Elder Claridge had to teach us how to paint though haha it's been awhile. But we did the whole apartment! I also got a lot of paint on me (also thanks to the Elders!) So I now officially have a painting shirt. We got home at about 18 just exhausted.
Then as we were just about to pray over our delicious tacos, I saw we had a text. Ella, an Arabic contact from a couple weeks ago (thankfully she speaks perfect English though!) said she was going to be at the park for another hour. We look at each other, look at our tacos, then remember we are consecrated missionaries. So we throw our dresses back on and fly out the door, tacos in aluminum foil (they were actualy really good!) and catch the bus. We searched the park and found her!!! It was a good decision and an amazing time. We connect really well. She even said at the end that maybe we knew each other before this life and I'd like to think she's right :) we have an apt on Thursday woo woo!)
Sunday was interesting. Sister Hansen and I actually did do our song together and it was beautiful! We meant to record it but you know, life. Maybe we will later. The rest of the day was rough, due to a missionary with an illness. (For their privacy, this part has been deleted.)
Well, I promise you I'm having a good week and loving the work and feeling spiritual but today just wasn't my day! It's super hot and we ran around all day and had to do the grocery shopping for everyone with 2 people and I sent the packages but there were so many problems, ahhh, but I sent you a package today! I actually sent two but one is for Rachel. I couldn't remember her address so I just sent it to you. The bigger one is yours, the smaller is for Rachel:) they are both small but they are with lots and lots of love (and a huge headache!)
I loved hearing about your weeks. You are amazing. Because of the difficulty with the packages and stuff that took forever and a half today I have legit no time. I'm sorry. But my week was good and I love you!
Crazy Logan got surgery! Is his nose straight now and can he breathe?
I can't remember anything else but I did sent a long letter today so I hope that makes up for the lame emails lately!
Mich love, Me
