Should have brought the Hannah Montana wig with...


This will be a fairly materialistic entry about my week.

I believe I have already written about the weather here and how it rains an unpredictable amount throughout the week. That being said my rain boots I bought last year at Filene's Basement have seen many puddles. Last week I found my first crack in one of them. I bought super glue that day and fixed the small crack. I found another crack on the other boot Wednesday and another one of Thursday! Needless to say I am very sad, I do not want to get rid of my first pair of rain boots. They are so beautiful to me. But at the same time, I am living in Iceland for two more months and the winter has just started. I may have to cave and buy a new pair...

I had my first Icelandic hot dog on Wednesday night. I hate hot dogs, but I would have another one here without a doubt! My friend Bryndis (who is half Icelandic) took me to this outdoor hot dog stand that is very famous in Reykjavik because Bill Clinton ate there. You may be wondering, what is so special about Icelandic hot dogs? Good question. Bryndis believes they are so amazing because they are made out of leftovers from the normal hot dog animals but also with lamb. They put some meat on it, two kinds of onions, two kinds of mustard, and something white. It sounds disgusting, but its not.

Friday's are always my favorite days here because I don't have class and they have become my coffee day. Yesterday Charlize and I went to a new one that was upstairs the building in the picture above. So cute.

Last night Charlize and I went over to the Garman family (the missionaries) and had a bible study with three other Icelandic families. We started the night off by singing an Icelandic worship song and it beat hearing a worship song in Spanish. I have never heard something so beautiful. My goal is to be able to sing that song before I leave. Pronunciation is so hard for me, but I want to be able to praise God in Icelandic too. I still can't believe that within a week I am connected to a group of Christians in Iceland. God is so good.

I should start getting ready for the day. I'm going to make banana bread and my Halloweens costume. :] Bless friends.
