Another Sunday come on gone....So Megan and I set out at 8am to try and make it to church on time. We did find the building this week and got there with 15min till it started. So total one way travel time to church is a long 45mins by taking 2 trains and walking a few blocks.
I hate to say it but I did not like church. Relief society was very unwelcoming and it felt like they didn't want us there. Ecspecially when a lady walked by us and said " I think BYU is dumb" looked at us then walked away. I later found out she was teaching the lesson today..boooooo!
Sunday had 8 people in well 9 if you count the teacher. it was a hard to understand lesson on fasting and ways to better it for ourselfs. When class was over we headed to Sacrament meeting.
The entire ward is smaller then our EQ and RS in Provo. They don't even have 100 people in this ward, it was kinda odd to me. The families with little kids just let them run around loud and screaming the whole time. It was very distracting and hard to understand the talks.
We were being looked at like animals at the zoo, but no one would take the time to say hello or introduce themselevs, not even the bishop people.
The parts of the talks I could here were ok we heard from one guy that went to BYU and he spoke about education. We had a little old man speak and he looked the grim repar, he was a litlle scary looking, and I have no clue what he spoke about, but I'm sure it was good. He was the last peaker and when he sat down the piano player and the music leader came on to the stand for the closing hymn. Right as the piano started to play the intro the little old mans wife came up to the mic. and statred giving a talk. The entire place filled with laughter and confussed faces..you see she was not asked to give a talk.
So the music people sat down and the bishop smiled and lowered his head and she gave a interesting talk about a war and then just like that sat back down. The music started again and this time we made it to the closing prayer.lol
So to say the least church was for sure a new experience, but I'm not really wantingto go back next week. But I know I'm being a cry baby and I'll get over it.
Other then church happening today the new students that never came last week should be here tonight, so future update will be coming on that I'm sure. I'm sick which kinda sucks but no big deal. It's just a swollen throat, plugged ears, and this great headache right behind my right eye...so much fun. Oh yes and this past Friday I got bit by something on the top of my foot and today my entire foot and ankle are swollen and very tender. We all know that I'm a big kid and I can handle it.
Really nothing else going on today, came home from church ate lunch did about 2 hours of homework and still have a paper to write for 2mro. So far kinda smooth sailing so I really can not complain it could be worse.
I hope you guys are all enjoying your summers and or classes. I miss you guys tons.
