Week 41 Almere Netherlands

This last week was temple conference! It was super cool as usual but I noticed a big improvement in my Dutch. I actually understood everything that was going on unlike the last temple conference.  We then went to this place called keukenhof.  If you haven't heard of it, it is like the most famous tulip garden here. It's like Disneyland for these people.  I'm not a big flower fan but it was super cool!! We got to hang out there for the rest of the day.  It was super exciting! I will send pictures of the tulips mom so don't worry. 

With the big Facebook project here, our mission has been receiving a lot of referrals lately.  We received one last week for this little town called Zeewolde, which we didn't even know was in our area.  We had to travel for about 45 minutes on a bus to get there and then they weren't even home!!! I hate when that happens. We then went back to the bus stop to catch a bus back to Almere.  The way the busses work in this country is you get off on the right side of the street and if you want to take the same bus back then you just go to the opposite side of the street, and it picks you up there.  So we did this and we got on the bus and about 20 minutes later we realized we weren't going the right direction!! haha we actually traveled into the next zone... We eventually made it to another bus station where we could find a bus back to Almere, but we were an hour and a half late to our appointment.  We felt super bad, but not going to lie it was actually quite a fun trip! Oh yeah and also we left our card behind when we were looking up the referral, and a lady called us while we were on the bus.  She told us that her husband doesn’t know what he is doing on computers and he just clicks on random things and she wants us to leave her alone. We get stuff like that all the time.  The church is starting to put ads on Facebook now, and I feel like only stupid people click on the ads on Facebook. So What can you expect!
