Hello hello hellooooo!! We are getting closer and closer to getting caught up!! Woooooo!! This one will probably be a short one because this week was a lot of media work, messaging, and practicing musical numbers.
Here are some highlights though!
November 14th-20th:
On Tuesday, Sesta Hancock and I went to Koper (the coast !!!!) because we had a bunch of people we could visit there! It was about a 2 and a half hour bus ride there and then another 2 and a half ride back. We were super excited because 1. it's literally the coast 2. We had so many people we could visit that even if most of them cancelled, it would be okay because we could see someone else!! Well, we didn't think about the possibility that everyone would cancel so here we were just chilling at the coast not knowing what to do at all. But hey when you don't know what to do, you just go talk to people. So we went up to a bunch of people and asked them why they were thankful today and it was pretty wholesome! We also met the sweetest old grandma. She said she was thankful that she was still alive. I am pretty sure she said she was in her 90's. She just kept expressing how thankful she was that we stopped and talked to her. A couple other highlights from this trip was we found a FIRE restaurant and got food for super cheap (fret not I got a picture) and it was so good!
Amazing burger in Koper - zooweemama it was fire
Cute little snowman decoration right by the sea
AND!!! A seagull pooped on Sesta Hancock hahaha fun times.
Washing the bird poo off hahahahaha
Okay now we get to the worst part of the day so we have to get back to Ljubljana for dinner with one of our friends and so we start heading back. We get to the train and bus station and it looks like there is going to be a train that leaves sooner than a bus so we get a ticket for the train, barely make it on with no minutes to spare and we sit down for the two and a half hour ride. Well. Literally like 30 minutes to Ljubljana to train just stops and chills there for forever. And when I say forever I mean for over an hour. The train was experiencing a bunch of technical difficulties so the normally 21/2 trip took about 4 hours instead. 
Sitting in our favorite place on the bus
Which meant that we were over an hour late to our dinner appointment but they still wanted us to come and it was so sweet. They roasted chestnuts for us and gave us their homemade grape juice (tears it was so good). Overall it was kind of a trainwreck day but that visit at the end was worth it.
Eating Falafel for the first time with one of our members
On Wednesday we went over to one of our member's house for service. They are trying to build a new house and so they needed our help clearing out the land from tree stumps, weeds, blackberry bushes, rocks, etc. We have helped them a couple times in the past but it was just so fun to do some physical service to help out. He also made us a fire stew which tasted so good after digging and chopping for hours. 
More food ft other sisters (s voigt did not want to take a picture hahahaha)
We also had a couple really good lessons this week. For one of them, we were talking about forgiveness. It can be really hard to forgive people. Especially those who have hurt you or your loved ones. It can also be equally hard to forgive yourself. It is so easy so see your mistakes but please remember that Jesus came to this earth to suffer for the sins of all mankind, yours included. He came so that you can be forgiven, so forgive yourself and forgive others. Here is an amazing talk about it. Please read it!!!
More yummy food
