I have some smashing tights!

Dear Family, Sunday November 16th 2008
I went to Church, understood loads, and my favorite couple still aren't there, she had a miscarriage a week and a half ago, but they still haven't been at church and I'm so worried about them! There were transfers this past week, and we have a Greenie in the ward whose vocabulary, grammar, and accent are all better than mine. And he never studied German before his mission. Am I really embarrassed and ashamed of my German level? Yes. Yes I am.

Going home from church I was on an escalator to enter the U-Bahn, and all of a sudden I felt something on my leg. I turned around and there was a little toddler, maybe 1 ½-2 years old, petting my tights! Haha, his mother was mortified, and it was absolutely hilarious. They are pretty cool tights, they have a really interesting pattern on them, bought with Florints I needed to spend before leaving Budapest while I was in the train station.

I went home for dinner with my host family. They had a guest so we (my roommates and I) were pretty much ignored during those two hours. Afterwards I did my religion reading, and then went to class. Class was really good, Cindy was our guest speaker tonight, and it was so interesting to hear so much about her life.

I am currently home and putting off studying for my big test tomorrow. I have never done so much homework on Sundays as I do here. It's awful. But when you travel all weekend, what else can you do?

Love,
Anna
