Hi! whats up? the 4th of july (juli in dutch) was fun! thanks for the giant box. Im not going to lie it was a little embarrasing at first. but then i just felt tougher than everybody else cause my box was bigger. it was fun to have all the glow sticks on glasses ect... that night we were let out of class early to go to a really painful play/ i dont know what it was. I guess it was 2 hours of sitting in a crammed seat. but after that we were allowed to go outside and check out the fireworks (vuurwerken). WWWEEEEAAAKKKK. what was up this year? the must have spent to much on the jonas brothers. it was fun though. ill have to send pics. it was a heard of missionaries outside way past their bed time.
Ok whats up with all the perfect timing driveby's ha ha! dont worry it was nice to see some family on 4th of july weekend. now ill only go one 4th of july without seeing family. im not going to lie when i saw the magness's and wade it was a little hard sitting on the corner not bieng able to go out of my little square watching them drive by going to have so much fun. so many feelings rushing through my body at that time ha ha. i consider it a present from on high baby. and the youngs were desert. but seriously what are the chances!!! When i told taryn she about died! she want to see the fam really bad. I dont know if it would be good for her or not?she is doing great though. It is crazy to hear her speak thai. She it getting really good. she bore her testimony (getiugen?) to me the other day. there is a lot of ping pong ching chong action going on. There are new dutch people coming in next week. its crazy how long weve been here.
Mom im going to sort my colors out this today ha. and the phone stuff is still really weird. but last week i called some guy and he was actually really nice had ordered o BoM and read a little about it. but when he picked up the phone we started to talk about scriptures. and hes like "im actually reading the bible right now" and then proceeded to tell me his wife and he were looking for the truth. so i told him about joseph smith and the first vision. and so on. Now if a brick didnt hit him on the head or something of that nature i dont know what to tell ya. but im supposed to call him tomorrow and talk more about it. So tune in next week.
Richy the story about eab Sorry thats a true friend. Subway oh man. going one month without eab is hard enough. you and chris have my permission to go from here on out. just eat and extra burger for me. Dad hows the canvas coming along? Biking? give jersey a couple pets with your foot for me. chris taryn and i were talking about how genius your letters were. your letters take care of my stomach workout for a week. oh yeah i havnt weighed myself in a week but last time i did i had gained 5 lbs. ive been staying in good shape though. Ive been working out almost everyday. Last night i wrestled a kid out in the hall with aout 15 kids watching. dont worry it was just for fun. he obveously didnt see the ROBERT on my nametag pinned him in nothing over 15 seconds. mom thanks so much for your letters. And pick and chose wisely who you chose to send this one out to ha ha. alright well gotta go hope i didnt forget anything. love you all. Jordan
