It was an incredible week here! wednesday was our zone conference with a trip to the temple, conference, then an afternoon at keukenhof (tulip gardens). The temple was soo wonderful. it was so awesome to be in the session with just our mission, I dont think I will ever forget that experience! Keukenhof was beautiful! Ill try to get pictures to you in the next couple of weeks.
Because of having wednesday totally dedicated to zone conference we had to make up for missionary work the rest of the week and what miracles we saw! We found 6 new investigators this week (2x the norm) and they were experiences like 'i just moved here and have been looking for a church and i was meeting with the mormon missionaries before' and service opportunities that turned into book of mormon reading and return appointments. i really loved the work this week!
One funny story. saturday we had plans to be in 2 different cities and gone for about 3 hours each. the weather here has been very up and down but saturday we saw something different. we left the house on our bikes and 2 mins later it starts pouring. we were drenched. then half way to the city it started clearing up and was dry for most of our stay in that city. so we get on our bikes almost dry to go home and here comes another dark cloud. the wind picked up and it starting down pouring twice as hard as before. i have never been so wet in my life. it was hilarious and cold. we had to go home and change everything. my underwear was even wet underneath at least 4 layers. the next city we went to everything went perfectly until we met a new investigator and missed the bus.. so we got to try to find dinner in the area. in the netherlands there is no such thing as a jamba juice or rubios. the only options are turkish pizza places or these nasty cafeteria things that have the most random mixture of fried foods ever. so we got nasty food and sat under the bus stop in the rain laughing at our pathetic situation. But dont worry, we met the most awesome hopefully future investigator ever because of this. oh missionary work. things i never thought id do in my life are now just fun and funny.
thanks for your support! love you!
