Week 39 Almere Netherlands




This week we had 3 days of service in a row!  This is the time of year here where everyone is starting to work on their gardens, so they go to the missionaries for help.  I always look forward to service days. 

Farley fed us this week. We went over early and helped him cook, but we weren't much help because we had no idea what we were doing.  One of the things we ate was fish. I will send you a picture of it, but it is the first time I have eaten an entire fish like head and all. haha it actually was pretty good though! 

So a big thing they have been working on here in the Netherlands is the new church website and Facebook page.  It is a big deal, and they are starting to do Mormon messages that are all in Dutch.  The first one is the conversion story of someone in our ward, and they asked us to be the missionaries in it so I'm practically going to be famous. No big deal. I will let you know when it's finished so you can see it.

One quick random thing that happened this week was some guy on the street came up to us, as we were talking to a member that we happened to run into, and he showed us his diaper. haha he told us how he was always prepared with an extra one! haha it was funny.  

Yesterday was a great day! Ivan came to church!!!! He is a less active that we have been working with and he came to sacrament meeting! He is from Uganda and doesn't speak Dutch so I had to translate for him during sacrament meeting, but luckily one of the talks was in English so that was nice for him.  We then had a dinner appointment with Fam. Seel.  They are the American family in the ward and it was like the best dinner appointment ever!!! You have no idea how nice it is to talk in English. You don't have to try hard at all to keep conversation going and you understand every word they say!! haha I really enjoyed it. They also had ranch dressing so I was in heaven.
