Such an amazing week! lots of success in the work and got to see some beautiful sights! Here is a little post for this week!

Top 10 things i have learned in one month of being in the Netherlands

1. Dutch people are more than happy to help (they say `naturalic` alll the time) but the second you bring up Jesus Christ they get a little frightened.
2. The people in Gouda find happiness in themselves, health, and their dogs. (we ask `what bring you happiness´ to the people a lot)
3. There is no need for a mini van when you can fit 3 kids on each bike (it is not uncommon)
4. I can wear 3 jackets, 2 scarves, thermals, tights, wool socks and boots and still be cold.
5. Hand warmers really work. Too bad I just figured this out on Tuesday and now its getting warmer
6. Flowy skirts and bikes do not mix. add the rain and its even worse.
7. There are 20 different ways to say goodbye in dutch but only 1 way to describe liking something. they love their greetings but its so hard to express emotion.
8. I love to talk and not fluently speaking the language is hindering that problem.
9. They eat dessert with every meal. My kind of people. (Thankfully they are lighter desserts than in America)
10. I love it. or im just out of time to add more :)

Enjoy the photos!
love you all!
