Week 6 haze and General Conference

This week was a blur (Therefore, not much happened that I can remember) :). It felt like the longest week. We all entered this state where everything was just funny, and every day felt like one continuous day! So here are some of the things that happened.
On Tuesday, we went to breakfast, and there was this guy that was just staring at the ceiling of the dinning hall. He would walk around and just stare. He didn't look like an official inspector or anything. It was quite strange.

This whole week Ewa and I lived in the library. There is this table on the second floor that looks straight at the door. We sit there and watch people... not a lot gets done, but it makes for very funny moments! I really do enjoy studying in the library surrounded by people and books!

On Friday I drove to DC to participate in General Conference Cousins Fest! When Raquel texted me I was so excited! I packed up and after class got ready to leave. Of course, It was pouring rain! I have never drove up there and here I was driving on a two lane highway, trapped between trucks, in the pouring rain! It was great! I got there a little after 7 and was fed dinner! Man it was great eating food made my family in a family kitchen!

On Saturday I went with Seth to the store. We had to go pick up some medicine and then go get some stuff at Trader Joe's. We left with like 45 minutes till the first session. So we raced! The first stop was right next to a Barnes and Nobles. Naturally I got super excited and made Seth run through the store with me. We then rushed around Trader Joe's as fast was we could. When we got back home we raced inside and got in right after the first song. We dominated! We watched conference, ate delicious food, played games, and got entertained by Brigham at 12:30 at night when he came in my room with the rest of the little kids to hear stories. It was great!



On Sunday, Andrea came in the morning for the day. We ate breakfast and then decided to go on a quick walk before conference. There is a path by their house that is so pretty. So we went on that and then got back for conference. It was so fun to talk to Andrea and all the cousins!



It was apple feast, so we ate lots of dishes full of apples which were delicious! During conference we played two "games". After every talk you had to write down what you thought the title of the talk was going to be in the ensign. That was super fun! It also let me write down a one sentence summary of the talk. It was a cool way to look back and see the themes through conference. The second game was we chose a few trigger words. If a speaker said that exact word we got a point. At the end the total number of points, equaled the number of candy we got! It was super fun!!
It was a great weekend! I didn't leave their house till about 7. And my phone charger wasn't working in the car.. so the last half of the drive was a little interesting. But I made it back around 10!
