is only one computer and me and my comp use it, and the other Gouda
elders are using it today as well...anyways....random

times and finally found me a bike...so that's cool. it has a basket.

GRAPJE'S
1. missing every train all the time lolololol so funny.....
2.
so we had zone training last wed. and after it was over (it was really
good by the way) me and zr. F were looking up an address at the church
for our next appt. and we were like talking about the directions and I
said "so you turn right there..."and Elder Holt came in and was like
"RIIIIGHHHTTT!!!!!" AND SCARED THE POO OUT OF ME (I didn't actually poo
haha just so you know...) and we freaked out then started
laughing....then he went to the other room, and I was like "i just
peed!!!" to zr. F. then we quoted this other sister who I guess said
something like " I peeeeeed my boddyyyyyy!" haha so I said that, turned
around to see Elder Cook in the doorway and he started busting up...man
I've made my mark in this zone so far. that amongst many other
funny/stupid things I say/do HAHA help me
3.
MERYKA ok can't remember if I told you about meryka last week but she is
a Suruname lady who lives in Capelle. We are not sure if she's all that
with it. but we made an appt. with her last time so we came to visit
her again. she wanted to read out of the kinder book of mormon with us
so we did that but while we were there she wouldn't stop smoking. we
asked her if she could wait until after we left but she was just
like...no. so we persisted with teaching her, breathing or no breathing,
and she kind of just walked around the house sometimes. we met her a
few weeks ago at the train station at capelle asking people for
money...she came up to us because we were trying to find a street of
another onderzoeker and she wanted to help us, so she took us to that
person's house, after that person said they weren't interested becasue
we were white (lol) meryka insisted on us coming to her house. so we
taught her a mini restoration lesson....anyways...yeah
4.
did I tell you I had to bear my testimony in church the first week here
in the language? well I did. It was ok. I was sitting next to one of
the elder's investigator's who was going to leave sacrament early and I
was like dang it! you're going to miss me making a fool out of myself
when I go to bear my testimony in dutch :) and she was so sweet...she
was like "no one can judge you. only God can. and it's your
testimony....just go up there and bear it." so that was sweet. she ended
up not staying anyway haha but it wasn't TOO terribly bad :)
5. I almost got run over by bike. lol i'm SUCH a greenie :)
