Day 22-The Statue and Party

So I went to a football game but since I was about 2 hours early I decided to take a walk, and look what I found! It´s the Mormon statue built by the Icelandic Association of Utah. On it it has the names of all the Icelandic pioneers from the Westman islands that went to Utah. It also gives a brief description of their sacrifice and how they are the first ever icelanders to immigrate to north america. Made me feel special as I read Kristín Einarsdottir and I had a lot of fun just sitting by the shore and meditating. I took a picture of the shoreline where she was baptized.

So after that, it was party time. Here´s a picture of Jón, my boss. It was acutally his birthday but he was so hammered... it was quite funny. He is a way close talker when he´s drunk. Reminds me of the episode of seinfeld.

here it is, immorality at it´s finest. So for the whole night I probably spoke Icelandic 85% of the time. It was way fun and I´m getting a lot better. Pretty much everyone knows me as the Mormon American that speaks lots of languages and has gold shoes. I guess bad news spreads quickly. Most people don't believe me when I tell them I've only been here 3 weeks because of my skills. Makes me feel special even though I'm not. It's great being around people and actually picking up normal words. definitely different than being a missionary and having limited media resources and limited topics of conversation.
