Week 60: Staying in Alkmaar and Doop Datum

I'm glad you got to go skiing. I'm sure my ski legs are good because of all the biking, it keeps my legs strong. Speaking of biking we are probably going to bike to Amsterdam today! So pumped. We are coming out of winter here and it is getting a bit warmer everyday and we have a lot more light.

The week has gone by so fast again.  We got transfer calls, but nothing exciting. We are staying together for another one here in Alkamaar.  Our entire district is actually staying the same except for one person, so that's cool.

Tuesday we had a service appointment with this lady in the ward to move things around at her place... she was really nice. She loves penguins and I counted 134 of them jsut in her living room area. That night we had ward council, I love to jsut sit back and listen to all the old Dutch people talk about stuff.  It's great. The next day was Wednesday and we had an appointment with M who is an older dude. We had a good lesson about the plan of salvation and he told us that he is a member of another church and he doesn't like it anymore. He wants to come to ours and if he likes it better he will be baptized, so that was cool.

We went to the Familie M for dinner which was good. We got there late but they were nice about it. Thursday we went to Den Helder to meet with M. He makes music and showed us some of it! good stuff. We are teh perfect elders for him I'd say because of the guiatar connection. Then we went to Hoorn for a dinner appointment. That was also good.  Friday we had interviews with the president and then district meeting. It went really well I'd say.  Saturday we went to Hoorn again for a couple people and one of them we met outside his little shop. He sells a bunch of Suriname food and inside the store they sold jello! I bought a pack and made it. Sunday we had church and then we had to bike all over the place. We had to do it fast too! We got a good work out in. We had diner at fam Db and they had some delicious groenten soep for us!
