Week 23 Ommoord Netherlands

CHRISTMAS!

 
This week was pretty awesome!  So for Christmas Eve we went to sisters Koks house.  She is this super nice older single lady that´s never been married and it just so happens that her favorite place on earth is Bryce canyon. Haha small world, so that was really fun to see her pictures and talk to her about it.  Then for Christmas we went to the Teskes.  They cooked us an American Christmas dinner and we watched the music man and the new Disney movie frozen.  I also got to skype the fam and that was super cool.  It might have been the fastest hour of my life.  Then for the second day of Christmas (they have two of them over here) we went caroling at an old folks home.  That was a lot of fun.  Not a whole lot of missionary work got done though because we actually aren´t allowed to proselyte on those days so we mostly spent them with members.  One cool thing that happened though was with this potential investigator that we went to look up.  He was on the way to the store so we just went with him and we ended up teaching the first lesson in the store.  It was pretty awesome.  He wasn´t too interested but he took a book of Mormon and I also found out that this store we went to sales Cherry Dr. Pepper and also three different flavors of mountain dew.  It was just a little tender mercy.  So whenever we visit members we are supposed to give them a spiritual thought and lately we have been focusing them all on Christ and Christmas.  It helped me really just think about Christ and not just gifts on Christmas.  It made for an awesome Christmas.
