Saturday I had another dance class. It is funny trying to move like Latinos. I'll get there eventually. Hahahaha. I was supposed to hang out with the young women afterwards at a pool party. I didn't get home until like 1:45 and we still had to eat. We were supposed to meet at the church at 2. So I didn't make it. They gave me the address but did not know the district. My host dad didn't know where the address was. I couldn't find it on google maps either. I just stopped trying and took a much needed nap. It was so nice. Me and Natasja had been staying up way too late. She had gone shopping with the other Danish girls while I was at dance classes. I slept for 2 hours. Then when I woke up we went to a movie at the mall. Diana came with us. We went and saw some movie about dinosaurs. I actually understood everything even though it was in Spanish!! I went somewhere by myself for the fist time in a long time. It felt good and scary at the same time. I didn't have access to wifi so if I got lost or something I would have to somehow try to communicate without knowing a lot of Spanish. Google translate wouldn't work. I asked a man where the bathroom was in Spanish and then went. Yes that is it, just to the bathroom. But it was still such a relief to be alone and not depending on anyone. I am an adult, after all. It is strange to have to rely on people so much. When we came home we were going to go kareokeing. We didn't though. We put in a movie to watch while we ate dinner. We ended up just watching the entire movie. Then me and Natasja just ate more and talked. We quizzed eachother on who knew the most European countries, us states, and South American countries. I have GOT to learn more about the world. I am very ignorant and I don't like it. I barely knew any countries in Europe!! We ended up not going to bed until about 3 again. We enjoyed eating and talking though. I am so addicted to strawberries and condensed milk. The milk here is sweeter and it makes for the best dessert!! On Sunday Natasja came to church with me. She said church is just not a big deal in Denmark. She loved the support system of our church. She said no one at her church knows eachother. They all go so rarely that they don't develop friendships. She was bored in Sacrement meeting, but once we got in Sunday School and Young Wemons it was better. She said she was jealous and that I was lucky to have such a support system and automatic friends and ward family no matter where I went in the world. She loved how nice and accepting all the people were. I bore my testimony in Spanish in Sacrement meeting. I do not use a lot of church words such as "prayer" in my everyday vocabulary so I couldn't do a very complex testimony. It was short and simple. It was great to be able to speak in front of all those people in Spanish though. It shows I've already came a long way from that first Rotary Meeting when I couldn't!! I worked on getting my membership records transferred yesterday. On the way home we stopped by the store. We could have gone home if I wanted first because they know I don't go into stores and stuff on Sunday. But it was hot. It was a hot trip back to the store for them, and we were passing it anyways. I told them they could go in and I'd just wait outside. I did. I just say on the sidewalk outside and waited. We came home and ate lunch. I then took another nap while Natasja went and bought some last minute things for her flight home. While laying in bed I thought of the fact I was sad to be away from my mother. She is my best friend and it is sad not to rely on her in the same way. But it is good for me. I can't rely on my mother for the rest of my life. I have to grow up at some point. I hope she will always be my best friend though. I didn't let myself get sad over the fact. I just went to sleep. Then we made Danish cake!! It is super yummy. It was fun to make that with Noda (I thought it was spelt Nora with just a rolled "r". But it is in fact, Noda), my host mom, Diana, and Natasja. We had fun.
I are the cake to watching the Super Bowl. It was probably the boringest came of football I've ever watched. Games that a blow outs just are not fun to me. Seahawks won over the Broncos by a long shot. At least Mrs. Lancaster is somewhere disappointed in the world. It brings me great satisfaction. I need to serve more. The other day I held a girl I didn't know on my lap on the bus. It is not often people are generous on the buses. The mother of the girl seemed so relived and grateful that I held her stumbling daughter. It is hard enough for an adult to stand in a full bus. It is harder for a child. It made me happy to make her happy. Anyways, back to the day, Natasja left at 10:30. It sucks. We has fun together. It was cool to spend a week with her. I will definitely stay with her again someday. Hopefully I will stay with her sometime this year in Chile. If not I will definitely stay with her in Denmark. They have a beach house in Denmark that she said we will go to someday. As soon as I earn enough money, I guess. I skyped my babies while watching the Super Bowl. I miss them. Ryan already looked bigger and Eathyn talked more maturely. I love them so much. It sucks I have to grow up and go to college a and get married and do adult things. It sucks I don't get to be with them every second while they grow up. It isn't fair. But such is life I guess.
I heard kids having a water balloon fight in the street last night. Me and Natasja wanted to go throw balloons at them from the top of out terrace, but we don't have balloons yet.
Me and Natasja rode in a motorcar. They are so cute and Peruvian. The man kind of posed in the picture, which made us laugh.
