Hi!! wow! Man i dont even know where to start. This is the coolest city ive ever been to in my life. amsterdam is amazing. My comp is such a stud. he says he loves you. I have never seen so much culture in my life. people of all different, races, countries, colors, sexes, ect... the first day i was here i was in shock. we were in the tram and i was totally amazed at the city and all the people. the city is so beautiful. coming from assen it was a total 180. no poeple on the street nobody to teach. here you can barely walk down the street there are so many people.
my fist day i bought an abonement for 100 euros. it gets me on the train, bus, tram for free. its nice. we are on the tams and busses all day we dont use our bikes. right now im in the most amazing library on the water. its huge the internet is free. super neat inside. i have seen some amazing art.
now for the people we have some good investigators. we set a baptismal date with a kid named jason he is a 13 year old boy who was reffered by his grandmother. his parents are not interested at this point. he is a smart dude. we also have an investigator who is a "rock star" he is 52 and loves rock. hi is black. a little crazy. he showed us some of his talent on the piano and on the electric guitar. oh it was funny. i got it on film you will have to check it out. we also found a lady named Maria who met the missionaries a few years ago but lost all contact. we are doing service for her. and we got her to come to a dinner at the church. as a companionship we desided we are determined to find a family this transfer and baptize them.
elder howell is a good kid we just laugh all day together. mom remember that mini ping pong set you sent me. its getting put to good use. elder howell is pretty good.
ok church on sunday. man was that interesting. once again it is the most divers ward in the whole world. there is many different cultures many different languages. in priestood they had someone translate into english. and for the second class the have a separate one just in english. then in sacrament it was fast and testimony meeting i had to get up and introduce myself. every sunday they translate into english with headphones . but for the other languages they had the 1st councelot who speakes 5 different languages translate into dutch. so he would just stand next to the pulpit and translate whatever language. the ward is a little crazy. the other companionship that i live with is pretty cool to. we all get along pretty well . hopefully it can stay that way. Cameron get your butt out here. you would love this place. im having a great time missionary work is fun here. i love this city. there was so many funny things that happened to us this past week. there are sooooo many inactives here.
ok well i g2g homie. till next week thanks for everything! did you get the package i sent? quote of the week from one of the members : "if your looking for hell you pretty mutch found it"
