Week 28: cats are not my friend

Image
  Heyyyy everyone! This week was a bit wild and I gotta have some fun experiences…  First off I am not a cat person and this week just put me over the edge… sorry to all you cat lovers out there. So here's the story. I got to go to Graz for an exchange and we got invited to this sweet ladies house for dinner. We walked in and I was immediately hit with the stinkiest smell ever. Picture opened cat food that I swear had to have been left out for the last 3 years and maybe even a dead cat that someone just left. Idk but oh man it was bad. And it gets worse… so I already wanna throw up from the stench alone and then we sit down for dinner. She made us sandwiches and don't get me wrong I am super grateful but I could barely get it down. They had the thickest layer of butter, mystery meat, eggs, pickles, a huge dollop of mayo, and topped off with some fun little cat hairs. No joke I probably picked off 10 cat hairs off of each sandwich and those are just the ones I could see. Anyway...

Week 27: coolest week ever

The prettiest hike   Guten tag! Another great week here in Vienna! I feel like all the days and weeks blend together and I struggle with remembering what I did for the day so writing for the week is a challenge... So sorry I'm always so scatterbrained. 4 lbs later This week was super busy! We had two exchanges so that was a bit hectic but super fun. We got to watch the best 2 years and oh man I don't think I've ever related more to a movie. I don't know if it was the funniest movie ever or if I just have been on the mission too long and I'm at the point where everything is funny. But either way I was dying laughing. Highly recommend.  How I met your mother? Yesterday was such a good day. We have been working with a part member family in our ward and have been doing come follow me lessons with them every week. They are the cutest little family. There is twin girls that are 9, a 14 year old boy, and a 15 year old girl. All the girls have been planning to get baptized ...

Week 26: 6 MONTHS BABY!!

  Woah…. Wow…. I can't believe I hit 6 months today! Kinda crazy! These last 6 months have been the hardest but most rewarding months of my life. I have learned so much and grown so much and am so grateful for all the experiences I've had and for all the people I've met.  This week was a pretty chill week, not much to report on. We got to go to a service project on Saturday and it was so much fun! It's called Ringo for the homeless and we just grill meat and give it out. I'm basically a master griller now so if you need any tips I'm your girl. The homeless shelter we were at was an all-men shelter and so that was a little bit eventful. Sister Chandler and I went on a little adventure to the bathroom and I was honestly a little bit scared hahaha. When we walked out there was a guy standing there and idk if he was on something or if he just hadn't seen girls in a while but when he saw us he like fell against the wall and said, "Woah… wow…" and litera...

  Servus! I hope you all had an amazing week:)) I had a wild one and it was awesome!! Also, this one's kinda long so sorry bout it.  I had a funny German whoops this week. I have them at least 5 times a day but this one made me laugh. We were at a members house and the last time we were there she gave us some coupons and so I was telling her that we used them to buy some things but instead of saying bought (gekauft) I said getauft which means baptized hahaha guess that's just what's on my mind… anyways kinda funny thought I'd share. We got to get together with our whole mission for a mission conference and it was sooo fun. I am exhausted tho and think I might need a week to recover haha. It started out with a 7-hour train ride straight into street finding. Picture this… 136 missionaries hit the streets in one of the biggest cities in Germany and give out 200+ books of Mormon. Basically coolest thing ever. And your girl gave out her first book of Mormon in Deutsch!!! Let...
