So, based off of Baltic time, Its already a new day, so even though I'm two hours away on PST, I'm calling it. Happy anniversary to me and all the missionaries on the plane with me seven years ago. Seven years ago, we left Riga Airport, flew to Sweden, Flew to Chicago, and I think most of us flew to Utah.
Wow! seven years. that's a long time. I feel old now. Its not helped by the fact that in tribute to my beloved Lithuania, I attempted to play basket ball for stake women's basketball night. Why does my hand hurt of all things? I mean, I understand my foot throbbing, I probably was jumping on it way more than it is ready for, but what the crap hand? come on!
I had nowhere near my old stamina and speed, but then I haven't really been able to do much of anything in the name of sports for nearly a year. Still with floor hockey my puck handling made up the difference, not so in basketball. Turns out my foot speed was a lot of my skill. I now have no foot speed, or maybe one speed- snail.
Still, if I can't honor my beloved Baltics with my mad basketball skills, perhaps it will be enough for me to finally grace them with my presence after seven years of promising to return? My Lithuanian has to be less rusty than my basketball skills, Right? We will soon find out.
