FREE REFILLS!!!

Sweet Dutch Graffiti

This week we had exchanges with the zone leaders. I was here in Hengelo with elder Corsini, and we decided to get me a new bike because we hadn't been able to find time yet. Soo we go to this run down used bike store, and before we go in elder Corsini just looks and me and says, "don't say anything. I'm going to get you a deal." haha so we walk in and he goes and asks to talk to the manager, and then tells them this whole story about how we are missionaries for our church, and we have saved money our whole lives to be able to come here and share this message with people and someone stole my bike. haha and he's like my companion only has 200 euro with him but he really wants that bike! haha so he ended up talking the guy down fifty euro! haha it was so cool, and it's a pretty nice bike!

On Friday we had a dinner appointment with Br Kabel, and he took us out to KFC! He just wanted us to get a little bit of 'merica for dinner. But he drove us super far to a certain one and we were wondering why but then we walk in and see that they have free refills! That is the first one in the country that I have ever seen with free refills! It was like Christmas.  He also bought us a ton of food, and even made us go back for seconds. haha he was super nice.

The work in this part of the country has the rep of being a little slow.  We don't really have many investigators, so we have been doing a lot of look ups lately.  We looked some formers up this week, and we met this family from Syria. They let us right in and they want to meet with us weekly! It was awesome! They don't speak very good Dutch though, so it is kind of hard to communicate with them.  They said they love the missionaries because we care about them, but whenever they talk to any members all they talk about is baptism baptism baptism.  I kind of thought it was the other way around. haha but anyway they are a super cool family, and I'm excited to start teaching them.
