Another week come and gone! This week was fast! Wowzer! Sounds like it was fast for all of you, too. Junk food, hand and foot. Aww. Well, I'll be home in 3 months time now. Only that. So I won't get weepy about missing out :( In a couple of weeks the sisters that came out one transfer before me are going home. That really puts things in perspective, meaning this time goes by so fast! This is their second-to-last pday. Then one new sister will be coming in, we'll have two here in Zagreb (me and Sister Creager will most likely stay together. as in, we already know that we're staying together even though we haven't gotten an official transfer call) and the other two will be in Zadar. And then it will be my turn to come home. And the mission will go on without me. Time is quite a strange thing.
So! I was so happy to get pictures! I got some from Kelsey with the kiddies and from Michael with my family. Oh, it was so good to see you all. I was just thinking the other day how long its been since I've seen pictures of all my sisters (meaning, it hasn't been that long but it feels like it has) and it was good to see your distorted faces (you were making funny faces in the pictures. I don't think you're disfigured.) What am I going to do with you all? Sigh. I can't believe our family numbers to 18 people now! How big we've grown! How we're all grown up now! Joj.
I am happy to hear you got my travel itinerary and I am beyond stoked to be going through Paris. Michael, you'll have to send me some French phrases like, where's the bathroom? and how to order food and stuff. And I'll take pictures with the eiffel tower... just kidding, I'm sure I won't be leaving the airport. That will be so cool. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm going home with the biggest group of elders. There will be 8 of them and one of me. Should be really fun. (8 is a big group for our mission, considering there are only 24 missionaries in Croatia right now. That's 1/3 of all the elders here! quite a turnover)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!
I almost forgot to say so. I do not believe that he'll be 10. I remember when I was in the MTC and one day I just realized that he'd be 10 by the time I got home and I was so blown away. He's all grown up!
This week has been good. A lot of the same stuff from last week. Funny story though. Last pday we went shopping and Sister Creager bought two shirts. And the total came to 200 kuna. Croatian kuna. But she was thinking dollars! So she was like, oh no. I can't believe how expensive clothing is here, I can't buy anything more, my parents are going to be mad at me. And I was thinking, sure I guess so. Like, I wouldn't like spending 40 dollars on two shirts, so it's a bit more expensive. And we're leaving the mall and she turns to me and asks "Sister Laws, how many dollars is 200 kuna?" and I told her and she was like, "what? this whole time I thought I had spent 200 dollars!" It was really funny. But by then we had all our groceries so we had to go home. So funny.
We ate out at a really good restaurant this week. There's this "salsa" type of thing here. It's actually nothing like salsa. It's called hajvar - tomato paste type thing with peppers I think. It's really good. I'll miss that when I go home. Maybe I'll bring a bottle home.
oh! and right now we're on exchanges. They're having a long exchange amongst the sisters, so my companion is down in Zadar with SIster Dillender. Sister Dillender's companion is here with Sister Nelson and that leaves me with Sister Hači! Which means I get to speak Croatian all day every day, it will be so much fun. That lasts until Thursday, so I'll tell you next pday whether or not we've killed each other! haha. just kidding. We get along and it will be fun to get to know the new sister, too. cool beans.
I love you all a bunches! Have a superfantabular week!
Love,
Sister Laws
I can't wait for wimbledon, too! I love wimbledon. whenever we were walking past a restaurant with tvs and I spotted the french open on, I would like, try to figure out who was playing or what the score was or something. no success. But I don't know how I'll be able to restrain myself at all with Wimbledon on. And I'm practically in the same time zone! This will be a great trial on my mission. haha.
This was the first time that this particular pope came to Croatia. So yeah. We totally were making the same comparisons with President Monson. Like, if he came would they shut the whole city down? Would the trams be down? NO. Now would 500,000 people go? Maybe, if he was somewhere where the church was quite large. I guess. That probably has happened before already. Really crazy.
Hm, that was all I guess. Have a good day.
I love you.
