No Electricity

Dear Family, Sunday November 23rd 2008
Sunday mornings are always a little hectic, but getting ready for church without any electricity is way worse. I got dressed in the candlelight, thoroughly enjoyed using nothing but cold water, and tried not to trip over anything in the dark on my way down the stairs. The electricity was out from 7 in the morning until 7 at night.

At church I got to talk to my friend Aaron again, his wife still isn't at church yet, but I talked to him about their situation. Apparently she couldn't feel the baby for a week before they were sure, because they had been out of town. I talked to the Bishop and his family, and I had to reschedule my interview with them because they had family in town. Today was the Primary Program, and it was absolutely hilarious. All of the kids were so funny, it was hard to not laugh throughout. They have about 20 kids, so it's pretty big, and the Bishop's 3-year-old threw a tantrum so he had to go up and sit with her throughout the entire program. I adored it.

After church I went over to Cindy's to enjoy her electricity and made a pan of brownies. Something went wrong and I have no idea what. They didn't taste like scrumptious moist brownies, they tasted more cake-like than they should and it was terribly disappointing. I miss brownies, not cake-like stuff.

I did my religion reading, and then went to class. We heard from a 26-year-old Slovenian today, it was really interesting to hear about Slovenia, I never really knew anything about it before. She's lived in Vienna for a pretty long time though, she just visits relatives there every once in a while.

After class I copied pictures from friends, ate taco salad, and came home to put my room back in order—getting ready in the dark tends to cause a really big mess.
Love,
Anna
