Week 47 Groningen Netherlands

Grillin on the deck!

Groningen!!

Typical little dutch town

Last week was a lot of fun! So we found this guy a few weeks ago.  Well actually he found us.  His name is Amil and he pulled up next to us at a stop light a few weeks ago and was like hey elders do you remember me?  Haha anyway we ended up getting his info and going and teaching him.  He is old and single and really lonely.  He also has a few problems that he wants help getting over, and he is ready to make some changes in his life.  He just left on vacation, and we helped him plan his route so that he would avoid all of the bars on the way.  Haha it was pretty cool. 

We also had a zone conference on Saturday in Rotterdam! That is so far away from here that we had to travel down and spend the night in OMMOORD!!!! So I got to stay in my greeny appartment! We went over and visited Ellen-Myree too. She was pretty excited to see me but she was watching the nederland vs. espanje foetbal game and she missed one of the goals while we were talking so she went back to watching.  We really wanted to know what was going on with the game so we yelled at people from the balcony and they kept us updated.  Nederland won 5 to 1 and it was a huge upset.  This country went crazy!!! A couple of members are like super mad that we can't watch the games.  Like one of the sisters investigators really is questioning the church because we are young men who should be watching foetbal. haha 

Anyway on Saturday we had the conference, and Elder Boom of the seventy came to speak to us.  IT was so awesome!! He told us stories like the whole time.  He talked a lot about prayer and also some advice for us when we go home.  I wrote a lot about it in my journal.  He has like all of these inside stories with the prophet! haha but it was a really cool experience!  I always learn so much from zone conferences, and I've been lucky enough to have two of them this transfer.
