ok here is the long coming update........



The last time i wrote it was Monday and I have been a bummmmmmmm and let an entire week go by sorry.



As you all know Monday-Thursday I have German and Art class. All of the classes went great last week, I had a couple German quizzes, they were amazing but it is a good learning experience, I have since improved. I got back my first paper for one of my German classes. I had only about 8 mistakes, which was the best in the class. Which I am glad for seeing as I re-wrote it like 3 times and had help with the edits. I was very happy with myself.



Monday FHE was good and then Tuesday was homework at the LDS institute. Wed. Institute was great, well the lesson was long and boring but the company was good. The stake pres. taught as a part of graduation. The spaghetti was good and the dinner time convo was freakin' hilarious!! I just really love the people there especially the missionaries. well ok 4 of them. It was just a great night with some very funny word explanations. Such as Megan can you describe the word pimp? A German guy wanted to know what it was, so Elder Waldvogel asked me to explain. It was about the funnest thing ever.



On Thursday our art class went on it's first museum tour. We went to the Vienna Art history museum..they Kunsthistorisch Museum. It was amazing... I got to be like steps away from Rembrandt's and Raphael's and Durer's and so many other greats. It was a breath taking experience. I know I'm an art nerd but of I love it. After the museum it was time for the weekend.

Anne and I decided to go to Leipzig Germany, so Thursday night we got on the night train and the journey began. We had to go thru the Czech Republic to get there, ahhhhh. We got about an hour past Prague and then the real fun started. We felt the train jerking back and forth like someone slamming on brakes. Then a loud noise and a sudden stop happened. Guess what the train had broke. The conductor came over the all call and said it would be about 3 hours for the worker to get there and fix it. We sat on the train just kinda chillin, since we were not allowed to get off. As the stupid smoker had ruined that for us, by trying to open the track side doors and not the sidewalk side doors. So these people were trying to get on the tracks with train still coming. Dumb dumb dumb!!! lol

So about 3 1/2 hours later about 6 worker got there...the next all call was well it will be a little longer the worker have no clue how to fix it. 4 hours later they asked us to get off the train and get to the other side of the tracks. 5 hours later another train came and picked us. So this is how the train broke.....There are copper wires on top of the train that run along 2 sides. It helps to keep the train balanced on the tracks. Each side has about 15 smaller wires that attach to the train itself. The jerking we felt was from all 15 of these wires on one side snapping off one at a time. Then the entire support wire fell off. Then the sudden stop and loud noise was us running over something on the track. It was great...we were stuck in middle of nowhere Czech for 5 hours.

The train that saved us took us to Dresden, where our next train was leaving gin 5 mins. ahhhhh but oh yes we made it. 2 hours later we were in Leipzig. It was so freakin' cool. I already want to go back, I loved it! The train station was 3 stories, over 140 shops/eats and had 25 train platforms...this place was huge. We were supposed to get there at 7 amish and got there at 1pm ish. We walked around for a few hours looking at the great buildings, so pretty. had the worlds best ice cream, i swear it will never be topped. Thanks again for the tip Elder Tilgner. he is from Leipzig so we had some insider info. :) Enjoyed some very windy and rainy weather and just enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.

Anne and I each bought a souvenir t-shirt, some dinner and headed back to the station. Got on the night train and headed towards home once again. This time at Prague we didn't brake down but it is just as crappy. 60 new passenger got on and there was only about 10 open seats. So all the hallways and stairwells were over stuffed with people. I had to go people climbing just to get to the restroom. lol

Got home Saturday morning around 7am. Did some laundry and e-mail returning and finally had some real food and Nice bowl of muesli..aka cereal. Then it was off to Anne's to help her host family move. 9am-1:30pm that is what we all did. Rented He's just not that into you and came back to my place to watch it. Got that and all our homework done...we are so on top of things.

By 11pm it was shower time and BED TIME. Wed night-Fri night I got about 10 hours of sleep. So 3 days and 10 hours, booooo. Thanks all to homework and trains. :)

Church today was fun, good lessons and good sacrament meeting. Got to catch up with my friend Bryce who had been gone, so all in all a good day. But all I have to say is tired,sore,tired,sore! It is for sure nap time.

Funny story about Leipzig. I met a sparrow that knew how to beg like a dog. he landed in front of me and opened his mouth, and just looked at me. It was funny, so I fed him some of my ice cream cone. Then hod wife got involved and we decided they were not eating it, but taking ti a nest or something. It was just funny and cute.

love and miss you all
