That was officially the longest weekend of my life. That I can remember.
It basically turned out to be exactly what it seemed.
A big "get together."
Dances, speed-dating, dinners, compatibility games... you get the drift.
I was almost grateful for the language barrier.
The weekend did have a good ending though so I am glad I went.
Elder Nelson and his wife came Sunday afternoon and both gave talks.
I almost cried I was so happy to be hearing English again.
I guess it wouldn't be hard to figure out what they talked about....?
*ding ding ding!* "Finding your eternal companion"
and "Utilizing your single days."
Awesome.
I also got to ride on the Deutschland Auto-Bahn.
For all you hole-dwellers that don't know what it is, it's basically a freeway with no speed limit.
When I heard that you can get up to speeds around "160"
... I got really excited.
Until I found out that they meant 160 kilo per hours... not miles.
So basically 100mph.
Psch... I pulled that driving down to St. George.
My $120 ticket was proof of that.
No big whoop.
And also, it's only two lanes so really you can only go as fast as the car in front of you.
Sorry for spoiling any dreams folks.
I've also decided to take a lover.
His name is Sushi.
Why did no one ever tell me how DIVINE sushi was???
What's crazy is I hate fish. At least I thought I did.
Sandra taught me how to make it tonight, and that's what we had for dinner.
So be prepared for a "sushi night" asap after I return!!
We are also in pre-preparation for our 2 week excursion to tropical paradise.
A.k.a Sardinia.
We leave really early Friday the 24th, drive 4 hours through Italy, take a ferry across the little sea there, and BAM.
We are there.
Can I just say how excited I am?
You all should be incredibly jealous.
Except for my mother and grandmother who just had there tropical fun.
And don't worry, I'll be posting lots of pictures to rub it it :)
Tschüß!
