Week 55 - good week :)

Dang three emails in a day? Let's goooo!!!! This was another fire week not gonna lie. Let's not waste any time and just jump right on in!

This is for January 20th to February 5th

- I forgot to say in the last email but we ended up getting back home from Bosnia pretty late and so of course we are super tired but guess what we decided to do the next morning?

a sunrise hike 

Sunrise hike buddies :)

- a whole sunrise hike but honestly it was worth it because we met up with the other sisters (Sestra Williams and Smith) and two of our friends who are our age. It was so so so so so fun and wow the sunset was so pretty even though it was so early and absolutely freezing. 

Sunrise <3

- after the hike we ended up going to the girls' house and they made us palačinke which is like crepes but thinker and so good. 

- the other sisters and I were so dead after this that we all went back to our apartment and just crashed for a couple of hours

my bosnian copatis (i forgot what word they use for it - my b)

- and then later that night, we went to say goodbye to one of our members - she is actually from Taiwan but has been here for a school semester - she is the sweetest person ever and her smile can just brighten up an entire country 

us and our buddy mehtab . 

- later this week sister chandler and I went and visited more of her family - this one specific relative is such a firecracker - her name is Romana and honestly she is one of my favorite people in the entire world - she is such a firecracker and says some of the sassiest things ever 

- we went over and she cooked us lunch wich was so sweet - while we were waiting for the chicken to cook she gave us some cookies and was explaining that she had made them herself and that the cardboard box it was in was actually "crystal bowl" and not something bought from the store. What a firecracker. I love her. a little bit later into the visit the same family members that we visited a couple of weeks ago came too but they didn't know that Sestra Chandler and I would be there so it was a good surprise. 

Sestra Chandler's family (they are also my family now - it is decided)

- later that day we had interviews in person with the mission president and his wife and they were good

- this week we also had exchanges with Celje and I was with Sestra McConkie again in Ljubljana - that was fun - we didn't do anything too crazy but we did find a bunch of slovene jazz

Pretty river 

Celje Sestri :)

McConkie and I 

- oh wait but we did have a really cool moment - on the way back to Ljubljana on the train, we had to sit with another girl across from us because there wasn't enough seats but of crouse we start talking to her and she is so cool! She sends us a bunch of links to learn slovene, asks for our instagram, and what we believe. We had her read the introduction of the Book of Mormon and just talked to her the whole time. She wanted to meet up again and was super cool! I'll keep you posted about her

- on Saturday it was Sestra Voigt's birthday so when Sestra Chandler and her came back to Ljubljana they met up in our apartment - I attempted to give her a hug tackle but it backfired and my nose started bleeding hahaha which was so funny because a year ago this date both Sestra Voigt and I got a nose bleed

Sister Voigt's bday ft my bloody nose ft pic of us one year ago exactly with bloody noses

- We went to the Kralj's again with the sisters and that was good again - of course as always there was an amazing amount of food and it all tasted delicious - I love the Kraljs so much 

- and then afterwards we went and visited one of our members in an retirement home and she was so sweet and such a strong member. it was just so cool to visit her and build our relationship with her - she is such a strong member and has a powerful testimony that she is not afraid to share

- a couple more things happened this week but I don't have the brainpower to explain it fully so I'll explain it in the photo section

I love you all
