great week in north holland! someone will hopefully be uploading photos soon but here is the weeks updates for now. 
we got to go to the corrie ten boom house saturday for our lunch break and it was so interesting! i love the historical sites you can find all over this country! look up the story on this woman, shes quite an amazing person! 
one cool thing from this week, we started helping our investigator maria stop smoking and its been a fun journey! shes been smoking like a chimney for 35 years so its not an easy thing for her at all. thankfully she lives in our building so we go see her whenever we leave or come home and we gave up sugar for her so she could feel that extra support.  its been funny because im used to doing no sugar weeks but my comp has never tried. well be out and about where she would normally stop to buy a cookie or a treat and shell want it so bad but i just say, "think of maria.." haha poor thing i dont think she enjoys this part of being my companion. we had 4 positive investigators at church yesterday and we were so proud when peter, our investigator who is the sweetest man ever, answered another investigators questions using joseph smith as an example.  he just gets it and its great! i love seeing the light and happiness that this gospel brings to these people.  even when they dont fully except it they still make such beautiful positive changes in their lives and i am so happy that i can be a small part of this!
