Week 13~ Email Titled "Pa Super"

So there is your Croatian for the week.  They like to put ˝pa˝ in front of expressions.  It just means ˝duh˝.  So you ask someone how they are and they will sometimes say Pa Super!  Yes that is all the Croatian I have learned thus far... jk. But this week has been really good. It is starting to speed up and I don't know if I like that. For now I do yes but i know that will change.
So this week has also been pretty fun. I feel like there is a sort of pressure to come up with some good stories for you all because you always say you cant wait for the stories of the week. That is good for now because there is always something to share. Elder Warren thinks I'm weird because I always pull out my planner so that I won't forget something. So wait you have all been waiting for shoot....
So everyone here parks on the sidewalk. I don't remember if i told ya'll but the first week here someone would come up on the side walk while i was walking by and i would kind of jump back i mean shoot i don't want to get all tow up. Also you can just park your car in the middle of the street, under one condition, all you have to do is leave your flashers on! It is so funny. And people love to honk at absolutely everything here. It is kind of annoying. So when people park on the side walk they always bend in there mirrors so that they don't get torn off. The tram is driving by and it is so freaking close it scares me everytime! And on the other side where people walk they bend them in so people don't knock them off walking by. Well that didn't work out so well for me at least. Elder Warren and I were walking to meet a guy at some little cafe and I saw that some people had forgotten to bend their mirror in so I dared Warren to bend it in. He did it then continued to do it to the next couple cars. So I thought I would just test it out with my arm, you know not to much force just see if it would go easily. Well apparently it would go really easy. So easy in fact that it would fall off if you just bumped it with your arm. Ya you got it, I knocked someones mirror off.... I didn't know what to do. So like all good missionaries I got down next to it and took a good picture and kept walking. I mean what else was I supposed to do. It was a crappy car anyway. So that was basically the funnies thing that happened this week. Yes it is a little sad but those are the kinds of things that keep me going somedays lol.
So we got to watch General Conference through the wonderful technology of the internet. We have watched the first three sessions so far. We just go to the church and project it up on the wall in the chapel through a laptop. It gets a little choppy sometimes but I'm so glad we have the opportunity to watch it, and it's in English! We will be watching the the last session for Sunday school the next two weeks and the same thing for the priesthood session. I didn't have a headache after church this week so that was good. Watching conference as a missionary is so much different. First of all we are at the church trying to be good examples for the members and taking notes. Second you get to listen to church in English, and another thing is that you get to hear from the prophets you testify of everyday. When I was at home I felt that being in Utah I was close to them. Also I could get on the computer whenever and research a certain topic or read something if I wanted. I don't have that leisure anymore so it was awesome to be able to hear all the messages. I can't wait till I can get my hands on an Ensign and reread everything. I really enjoyed conference and went as we all should prepared with questions that I was seeking answers for. I heard those answers and I paid close attention and took notes. I tried to not take to many notes for fear of missing something while I was writing. I know that I will be able to read it all again so I was just soaking it all in this time. I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as I did. I am so thankful for the technology that has made it possible for me to hear the words of a prophet.
So yesterday was the first time I had fasted during conference. We had a district fast so that's why, but when it was time to break our fast we all did it together at the church and had kind of a potluck thing. It was really fun. So I was kind of in a mood all day from being hungry and what not. It got a bit better when I ate. I loved listening to conference in English but after we were back in Croatian mood and that never goes to well for me. So I was cleaning up the kitchen and as Warren took out the trash I noticed that there was something in the bottom of the trash can. So there was a member standing there and as I grabbed a rag to wipe it out she freaked out on me, in Croatian of course. And I was like what the heck are you saying. She took the rag from me and said, No use this. Um ok... so I went and got paper towels and she said that was to small. Ok what the heck lady.... Then she looks at me and says, ˝Didn't your mom teach you anything?˝ Oh heck to the no you did not just talk about my momma teaching me how to clean like that! I was so mad. I must have been more on edge than I thought but she was making me so angry. I told her my mom had taught me perfectly and that's why I was trying to clean up. She then proceeded to tell me that while I was there that she was my mom. What the heck lady get up off my momma! So I lost it, I said if your mom then why don't you make me food, clean my clothes, and iron my shirts. Now that all sounds a lot worse than I said it. I didn't have my nasty tone that you all know and love. But she was dissing on my momma and that does not work for me. I already miss my mom like it's not even funny and she tries to tell me she is my mom for the next to years. Ya freaking right. (P.S. Mom I love you in case you didn't know.) So in conclusion of this story I would like to say how much I love and appreciate all the lovely members here in Zagreb.
Well that is about all for this week. I am doing great. We are working our butts off. We are contacting like crazy which I am getting better at. Practice looking like an idiot, who would have thought I would be doing that! I got my visa too! So the long days at the dysfunctional government building are over for now. Today was also day number 3 for gelado and I think I am in love. So creamy, smooth and sweet. Lance are you drooling yet??
I love you all and hope your conference was great! Have a great week!!
