Week 86 Roosendaal Netherlands

Message to Elder Carter / He is half way
Zoom in and read the scripture and message

 A de lorian we saw on exchanges.. enjoy

This week was just full of contacting! We still haven´t been able to really meet any of the investigators.  None of them are very solid I guess, so we are just knocked doors.  We have given out a TON of book of Mormons! Its crazy!  With the new standard of 20 hrs of proselyting every week they are encouraging travel contacting, so we have been trying that lately and it´s hard! Like trying to talk to people on trains! It is illegal to preach to them so we have to just bug them enough until they ask us about ourselves, and then we can tell them about the church.  It´s been hard but pretty cool.  We have given out a few books, but we have also had a few really awkward situations. 

One day this week we traveled to a little dorp to look up some referrals and while we were walking down the street we saw a couch hanging out of a window, and that isn't too uncommon over here because the stairs are so small whenever people move they do it all through the windows.  So anyway we could see that they were struggling so we asked if we could help and they didn´t really say much accept that it was stuck so me and elder Hosea lifted up elder Heinricks and he pushed from the bottom, and the wife started yelling at her husband, `schiet op! de jongens staan op elkaar!` she was like hurry up man they boys are standing on each other!! haha but we got the couch in the house! it was a really funny random service opportunity. 

The sisters had a baptism yesterday for a guy named Joseph.  He is from Indonesia, and I got to do the baptism interview, so it was really cool to get to know him.  He has given up a lot to get baptized, and even his brother has given up drinking and smoking because of his influence on him. It was just really cool!

I love Roosendaal! The members are awesome, my companions are awesome! and we just have a lot of fun with the work here!
