OK no time to write today! the other day a brand new elder from korea was just walking around he had just barely arived.didnt speak much english. poor kid didnt know what to do. so we welcomed him showed him around. he was super nice. he just got of the plain from a 22 hour flight. he took us to his room so we could help him with a little more stuff. when we got to his room another kid was in there. he was his roomate. a big tall blonde hair blue eye kid. i asked him where he was from and he said. netherland. i was like whaaaaaat. so i spoke a little dutch to him. he had just gotten off the plain a couple hours ago he had been flying for 16 hours. he spoke english pretty well. he is going to the west indies dutch speaking. I love meeting people from other countries. its fun to see how cool people are. and sometime how not cool some people are.
