Week 43 - still alive

 Hey guys I know it's literally been over a month since I last sent an email and literally the day that I finally got caught up, I stopped sending them again lol. My b. I'll get better someday. Since I don't have much time and I need to write 6 more emails x( This week is just gonna be pictures cuz I don't really remember what happened all too well. Enjoy!!

October 31th-Novemeber 6th.

1. Here is a picture of Ljubljana center. Isn't it just so pretty :,) I love this place. I don't remember why we were in center but I mean we are there pretty much every day 

2. Oh this past Monday was Halloween so happy Halloween everyone! I hope you ate LOTS of candy and enjoyed scary movies for me. On November 1st they have Day of the Dead here. We were able to go to the big cemetery in Ljubljana and see all of the lights and decorations people put up for their ancestors and loved ones. They also had street vendors lining the streets up to the cemetery selling chestnuts, candy, flowers and candles. Overall such a cool experience. Here is a fun selfie of Sestra Williams and I.  

3. Here are some of the lights from Day of the Dead surrounding the church at the cemetery. So beautiful.  

4. Sestra Hancock has a cool camera and here is a selfie we took together. I miss my camera :,(

5. We also had zone conference in Zagreb, Croatia this week! Here is another cool camera pic of us on the way ft mcdonalds. A vibe. Zone conference was really good! We were also able to go to the American store afterwards where I bought a Butterfinger (I never realized how much I miss Butterfingers) and ROOOTTBBEEERRRR wooooo!!!! On the way back, the expected 2ish hour trip actually turned into almost a 4hr trip because of the traffic at the border. We were all going slightly insane in the car haha. Also I forgot my Butterfinger in the car :,( Hopefully one day I'll get it 

6. Sestra Hancock has never tried Kebab pizza and it is literally so so so so so good. So of course we had to Wolt (Uber Eats equivalent) us some and wow. Literally so good. 

7. All of the sisters and I met up for dessert with Alejandra. She is the sweetest person ever. Before this we saw a bunch of tourists and got to have a nice long chat with them about missionary work, why we are here, and such. It was fun to interact with Americans again after not interacting with some for a long time (besides the other missionaries but that doesn't count). 

8. One thing Sestra Hancock and I have been doing is going through our less active list. These are people who are members of our church but either they moved, lost contact, and something else happened and they stopped coming. It is our job to get in contact with them and serve them in any way we can. After calling through literally soooo many people, finally one of them answered and he said we could visit him! Well last Sunday we went to the address we had in our records for him but when we called him, he was like um I literally haven't lived there for over 10 years. Awkward. He actually lived about 45 minutes from where we were and there was no way that visit could work so we rescheduled for this week. Now with the right address, we set out on our journey on the busses. And wow he lives in the most beautiful place ever. So so so so beautiful. I took pictures but they are all blurry. Žal. This picture is us waiting at the bus stop (an adorable wooden shack in the middle of nowhere) because we didn't get off at the right stop and he was coming to rescue us. 

Well we got rescued and we went back to his house and met his family. They were the sweetest people ever!! They had I think 2 or 3 cats and a cute dog. Y'all know where this is going. :( Well of course I had to pet the dog and cats. And of course I started sneezing and of course I kept eating things with my hands that touched the cat and of course my throat started to close up a little bit and of course it got a little hard to breathe, but no biggie xD I was dying but literally this family was so sweet and nice and they were even nice enough to give us a ride back to the bus stop. I can't wait to visit them again. I'll come prepared with allergy medicine next time though. 

I love you all so much and I hope that you cherish your loved ones. Send someone a nice message today!! Also since ice cream is not much of an option for a count, send me suggestions about other things I can have a count of. 

BYEEEEE
