hello. this week was a good one. the museums were amazing. i think i like the van gogh museaum better. the rijks was amazing but a little repetative. although the Rembrants were unbelievable!
this week we had a lot of joint teaches set up with our baptismal dates. but a lot of them fell through. it is really frustrating when you have somebody come along to help teach and the person we are teaching doesnt show up. on the other hand we have alot of investigators. and they are serious. they are reading and praying everyday to find an answer. except for one guy who says he wants to recieve an answer without reading the book of mormon. he sais he doesnt want the book to convince him. he doesnt undarstand. he got into a lot of weird anti stuff and has a hard time believing. on the other hand we had some great lesons. we had kim come with us to teach a girl. they really connected. kim is a recent convert of 3 months super stronng.
one of our investigators is chinese. great guy. its nice to teach somebody that is smart. he really thinks about things and has good questions. he is reading everyday and praying 4 to 5 times a day! this one will be baptized. we have another south american girl we are teaching who only speaks spanish! we have to take a translator. we promised her if she were to read in the BoM for thirty min eveyday for a week she will recieve an answer. on sunday she told us she has been reading for 15 min each week and is going to do it for 2 weeks. ha ha. man its hard to get people to come to church out here.
this week we as a companionship had 5 in church. its not bad but we can do better.
well today for pday we are going to go eat at my new favorite restaurant. it is a tall glass building. and it is on stilts above the city. its a 360 degree view of amsterdam so cool. you cant see it from the ground. i didnt even know it was there. a member took us there this week.
