Dear Everyone.

Welcome to the fastest week of my entire existence.

Monday. P-Day. Shopping.

Tuesday. Bydgoszcz.

Wednesday. Sister Swenson. English. Jadwiga. MY BROTHER WENT TO THE MTC.

Thursday. Chalk and Talk. Grill. Sopot. Lena.

Friday. Magda. Manekin.

Saturday. Sister Swenson. Wioletta and Klaudia. Banana bread.

Sunday. Church. Magda. Stanley.

And that, my friends, is all she wrote.

This week was crazy flipping fast. I don't even know where it went! I'm sitting here, looking at my planner and the things crossed out and circled and all the arrows and numbers, and flip! I don't know when all of it even happened! It's weird. REALLY weird. I don't think I've ever had a faster week in my whole life. Which is saying a lot, because I WAS once an elementary school student, and summer as an elementary student literally flies. I feel like I was emailing you all, like, two days ago. Which, I'm not gong to lie, is pretty nice. I'm definitely not complaining. It's just freaky weird.

So that's nice.

Let's see ... Can I possibly expound on ANY of the above listed happenings of my life ...

Bdygoszcz! Duh! Oh lands. I love that city. It was so fun to go back again! We had Zone Training on Tuesday. It was really nice. And guess WHAT!? I'm possibly probably going to Bydgoszcz for exchanges again this transfer! And I'm possibly probably going on my exact birthday to that beautiful promised land! It's not for sure (as far as I know), but it's looking pretty likely! What I wouldn't GIVE! Ah. Please bless that it happens. It would rock my whole world.

Oh. Sister Swenson. Because that's possibly confusing. So! On Tuesday night Sister Swenson came up and hung out with us (hung out? Okay. Well. We did missionary work. We didn't just hang out. But you get the idea) for the week! It was super fun! And we got to see a bunch of members, and that was cool! So that happened this week. ... Alright, I just reread this explanation, and it makes a total of 0.00071 sense. So. I'm going to try again. Once upon a time, there was Sister Swenson. She started her mission in Gdańsk, and she was here for forever basically, and now she's going home in two weeks. So. For reasons that are too complicated to explain, she had to come up for something, which ended up not happening. But she was here. And she spent basically forever here, so it means a lot to her, so she wanted to see a bunch of people while she was here. So we did. The three of us saw a bunch of people while she was here. Then she went home to Warsaw. It was nice. Oh. Er. Not the fact that she went home. The fact that she was up here. We had fun while she was up here. THAT is what I'm trying to say. Ugh. Words. They're so ... difficult.

And we totally had the Fourth of July last week! It was a good time! We did normal missionary life things, and then we had Manekin with the fam and Stanley (who's basically part of the fam anyways). It was delicious. Of course. I'm not sure why Manekin was the restuarant of choice for Independence Day. Naleśniki aren't really very American. I feel like Billy's American Diner (which does, in fact, exist - I haven't tried it yet, but there's no way I'm leaving this country until I do) would have been a more appropriate choice, but there you go. I like naleśniki as much as the next kid.

MOM. I GOT MY PACKAGE THAT WENT TO WROCŁAW ON TUESDAY. And I've been eating Sweet Baby Ray's on literally EVERYTHING ever since. It rocks. Thank you SO SO MUCH! How I have missed BBQ sauce! It's delicious. I've never been happier. And everything else - it's all delicious! The Cheese It's, the marshmellows, the peanut butter, the Fruit Roll-Ups - I'm living the dream! THANK YOU times a thousand. God bless America, and her delicious American foods available only in America. (William, Annlie - treasure your lives. You are lucky, beautiful people.)

In other news. (I'm sorry - I think I overuse that phrase, but I REALLY like it, and it always seems to be indispensable as I'm emailing. It's just such a good change-of-topic-er.) MY BROTHER WENT TO THE MTC LAST WEEK. Yeah. THAT happened. I'm dying here. I don't even know if the kid's going to read this, but William. If you are reading these words. I LOVE YOU. (And if you're not, I still love you. Don't worry about it. You just won't know it, because you aren't reading it ...) And I'm REALLY proud of you. And I tell you what, I think about you basically all the time. Because you rock, and I miss you.

I made some banana bread on Saturday. As previously stated. Guys, it was really good. Like, REALLY good.

So. Um. Yeah. That's it. That's my week. It was very exciting. (I think ... it was so fast, I can hardly remember what happened. But as far as my memory allows me to remember, it was very exciting.)

Much love!
