hello
we got transfer news this morning. i am staying in amstedam! and with the same comp. i will be his last companion so that means i will probably stay another 2.
this week was a good week we did service for Jasons mother and found out alot of information about her. she is actually a member. we didnt know that. she is actually super nice. she is ok with jason getting baptized and is ok with it. we are hoping to reactivate her. she has had a wild past. she said she will come back sometime. we are starting to meet with some new people. its going super slow though. nobody want to keep their comitments and come to church. thats the hardest part is getting them to come to church.
my companion and i have created a super good bond with all the young adults in the ward. there are some great young adults. the president has asked us to open a young adult centrum. its where the young adults come together once a week and have a spiritual message and play games. its targeted to bring more young adults into the church and strengthen the ones that we have. they were supposed to get a centrum a while ago but i think pres was waiting for the right moment and elders. we are going to play sports at Vondel park today with all of them. Vondel park is one of my favorite places in A dam . its where the Rijks museum is and the van gogh. plus some more modern museums. plus its got a skate park an basketball courts.
Chan i hear you have been skating lately keep it up! mom the language is about the same. yes i smell weed everywhere. there are coffee shops everywhere. the other day it was freezing and cold and rainy and we walked by a coffee shop and happened to notice a baby stroller parked outside in the cold rain and the mother was conveniantly inside smoking the good stuff while watching her kid through the window. i got a good pic. we dont really see the red light district. we avoid them pretty well. we teach a lady who lives across the street from one though. there are tourists everywhere. its sad you see families walking through the red light district and down some scetchy roads. little kids and all.
Cam, chris keep painting and keep dreaming you will beat me in a pull up comp. well ill see you later.
tot maandag. 3p
