WEEK 4

There was a Bat and I lost Two Humans

WELL WELL WELL this week was another giant adventure.  I'll start with the first day I can remember which is Saturday.   Really Saturday night though. It was a great day, we got back to our residence hall, I was on my way to the showers, and a police officer starts yelling at me to get back in my room and then a girl asks me if I heard the screams. WHAT? I went back in my room and then a voice comes over the loud speaker telling everyone on the fourth floor to evacuate to the third floor because there was a bat in our hallway. WHAT EVEN? HOW DOES A BAT GET INSIDE OUR BUILDING? 

So we went downstairs and had a fiesta with the Sorellas (Italian speaking sisters) because it was their last Saturday and we love them and also they have like 2348203 bags of tortilla chips and cheese and salsa, so that was an adventure. We all already miss the Italians SO MUCH. 

Then it was Sunday. We had a great relaxing day and then devotional was okay, not the best I've ever been to, but it was okay. I was made a sister training leader on Sunday and they gave me the binder of doom with all of my responsibilities in it and I am not super excited about it but if that where I'm wanted then that's where I'll be.

I have no idea what happened on Monday, other than half of our Italians left and we cried. 

Tuesday was another great day. There was a rumor going around that Elder Holland was speaking at devo and I tried to tell everyone that no, he wasn't, the schedule they saw it on was just for BYU, but they didn't listen, and then were disappointed when Bonnie Oscarson (gen YW pres) came instead. But she was straight up, SUCH  a good speaker. It was really cool. 

On Wednesday we got to host new missionaries! It was crazy fun because 1) We got out of class and 2) We got to walk around without a companion for a while. But, honestly I missed Sora Anderson so much while we were apart, so we hosted together for our last new missionary :) On Wednesday, our Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders (Sora Idiart, Varstnicul Perrett, Varstnicul Trottier, and I) had to do new missionary orientation for the new German Zone because they didn't have any old people in their zone who could do it. So our branch presidents coordinated and asked us. It went pretty well....... until Sora Idiart and I LOST TWO OF THE NEW GERMAN SISTERS AND SPENT AN HOUR WANDERING AROUND CAMPUS LOOKING FOR THEM. We felt so bad. We finally found them in their room which they had miraculously found their way back to and apologized for twenty years. It was horrible, haha.

Today is Thursday and I took a nap. We did laundry and then we just slept until it was time to go to the temple.  It was MUCH NEEDED. Tomorrow we get our flight plans! Just 11 days until Romania and I am so excited.

My leg is better now and I'm happy.

Cu drag!
