This week was pretty crazy. Yesterday we had our zone Thanksgiving dinner and turkey bowl football game. It was awesome, it was raining and we all got covered in mud and were soaking wet!
Afterward we had our Thanksgiving feast, it was really fun.
We made blankets to give to the little kids who have cancer and are staying in the hospital....that was really cool.
Thursday we are having Thanksgiving dinner with the two American families in our ward. It will be alot of fun.
Sylvana and Suni are doing well. They were sick this week, but they are still making lots of progress.

My week was good! We had three investigators in church on Sunday, Slyvana, Suni and Hennie. We also had a lady call up and ask us to come teach her more about the Book of Mormon...that was neat.
On Thursday we went to Zwolle for a district meeting. Elder de Mass played the bag pipes while we contacted people in the Centrum square. It was really cool to contact people while hymns were being played in the background. It was an awesome experience.
We went to Apeldoorn and I got to see Alim, he was so excited to see me...it was really cool. The Kloosterboers from Apeldoorn came to church in Arnhem this week to see me.
We had interviews and that was also really good!

November 2, 2009

Well, life is just moving right along. Sylvana was in church again this week and she was giving incredible answers and is really positive and just loves the Church and the Book of Mormon.
My new companion, Elder Morrow, is a fun guy, he is from Washington and has been out for a year and a half.
I'm doing great, the weather is nice, we ate with Ghanians last night. I don't think ya'll are gonna recognize me when I get home.

I got sick this week and that kind-of put a damper on the first part of the week. But then we went to zone conference in Amsterdam and that was pretty cool. The day before the conference we stayed in Almere and I went on an exchange in Lelystad and got to see a whole bunch of members and investigators, so that was cool. Sister Prins who had cancer is completely healed!
We have two investigators that are really positive. One is a 16 year-old girl that is half Dutch and half Argentinian named Sylvana and the other is a man from Sierra Leone named Steven and both were in church on Sunday and both loved it, it was really good!
My companions going home on Wednesday and my new companion is Elder Morrow. That will be really fun.
