Unda :)

I forgot to mention a few things that happended prior to today. first off i make casadillas for youth bible study... after i made the tortillas.. they turned out pretty well. atleast they all thought so. um now i cant remember the other thinggs i forgot. gosh im slow!

well anyways... i spent most of m day with Unda. she is 16 and a newer believer. (how new idk) so first i went to salon, where i thought i was supposed to wait for her their till after 10. she was already there when i got there. but she was in pajamas becuz she came straight from a party at friends house last night. anyways.., so we figured it out that she would go home and get ready and i would wait at the salon. well Initina and Irresa bith dont speak english, so when Diks leave im on my own. so i stayed and helped clean and then Unda came back and got me. Fun Fact #3 about lavtia, almost all the youth in latvia can speak english becuz they learn it in school. when Unda came back she brought both her friends again, Lynards and emmans. Fun Fact #4 about latvia, all boys names end with an "S" so we all went to the local biblioteca,(library) to just hang out. Fun Fact #5 about latvis, spanish and lativan have some of the same words.... YAY! for me.                    the boys had all sorts of questions for me, they thought i was like some new toy.. idk i was nice i guess, for them to wonder. then we went back to the salon becuz i was supposed to help in the afternoon. Unda and i both stayed at the salon for some time, then her best friend carina, came to town so we went out to hang out with her. then after we dropped carina off at the bus station, we walked back to my house, to play uno and dutch blitz. Fun Fact #6 about latvia, they have their won set of rules for playing uno., and with that they only play speed uno not the regular version, so for those of you that have played speed uno with you, you know how that went. and also they have basically a lavtian version of dutch blitz. so unda stayed over for the rest of the day, then my family got home. we all played some card games, then ate dinner. Fun Fact #7 latvian cook things in bags, yes plastic bags..    things like rice, which was even odder for me, and then we basically had a roasted chicken with some veggies, in a bag. i am learning many things about their culture. like they have names day, basically another birthday! yeh what a rip off! but the good news is my lativan is getting better by the day, they said i dont have american accent anymore, and i know like 5 or 6 words now. well that about it... not much for picture to post. one of small Diks, and 2 of dogs that live near my house. for danielle and paytons pleasure.
