What a Week!

 I'm not sure what to think about this past week. The best way I can describe how it went is this. Imagine yourself standing on one foot and leaning a wee bit off balance and still feeling like you accomplished everything you needed with both feet. That is how i feel about his week.

  Everything was different and went according to a plan. We knew it wasn't what Sister Oswald and I had planned. We tried our best to follow our plans, but we got lost when we weren't suppose to. However,

the lord put people in our path and ideas in our minds to make our week a good week. Along with that thought maybe these are some of the reasons why our week didn't feel normal.

 Our land lady told us on Monday that she was planning on painting our room on tuesday morning at 9. The painter took ALL DAY. He started at 9 and therefore we were kicked out because we can't be in the same house as a single man. Our studies were cut short of an hour. However this is the blessing: Our mission president asked us if we would go buy a train ticket for our Recent Convert to Edinburgh Tuesday morning. He wanted us to meet him at the train station at 9 so we could buy him a ticket to Edinburgh to get him there by noon. Our Recent Convert was asked to share his conversion story to the Zone Leaders.

  We came home for dinner and the painter man was STILL there. We quickly grabbed a yogurt and an apple and ate dinner outside our flat on some stairs!

  I got new glasses! j/k they are a members. We had lunch, cut my fringe and waited until Sister Green (whose glasses i'm wearing) had finished with her hair getting dyed.

 I accidently left my camera at the house and was hoping the kids would get there hands on it to take silly pictures. My wish was granted. These are some of the results. It cracks me up the kinds of pictures children take with a camera. I also found about 6 videos on my camera. HILARIOUS!

  

 Yes the week felt off balanced but we were able to accomplish most of our goals. I was shocked to be honest that we were able to accomplish what we did. It was a different kind of work than what i'm use to doing, but it was still successful.

 Today Sister Oswald and I ate at one of my FAVORITE places. Muffin Break! ummmmm. As we ordered something surprising happened. They place our muffins on a tray along with knives. KNIVES? what for you ask? yes for the muffins. Britain ALWAYS uses cutlery.

  

 If you are wondering, yes I did use the knife to eat my muffin! It tasted better because I was able to savor it longer!  Don't be surprised if I come home eating everything with a knife! haha

 Hope everything is going well for everyone. Remember: The Church is true, Jesus loves you and Heavenly Father hears your thoughts and knows what you're up to. Stay good and be true!

Funny moment: Sunday I talked to a man with Alzheimer's. He looked at me and I said "What are you looking at?" (don't know why THAT phrase came out of my mouth). He looked at me and said "I use to have an answer for that, but I can't remember"........goes and asks his wife........... "I don't know what i'm looking at, the label fell off!!!!!" HAHA  I couldn't help but laugh. He is such a character. It was my favorite line of the week.
