Goede Middag!
(Not just hallo, because a grumpy old Nederlander told me it is only for friends and people you know:) )
This week has been going pretty well, and we had Zone Conference with a member of the Area Presidency, Elder Johnson. He was really cool, and he talked to us about how to be "High-Yield Low-Maintenance Missionaries." High yield meaning effective in the work, and low maintenance meaning being obedient, and charitable towards your fellow missionaries. I really enjoyed it, and it gave me a renewed resolution to be exactly obedient.
We also had Stake Conference this week, so I got to see my people in the Haarlem ward! I miss them! The Letorts, and Brother Duineveld to name the ones I knew the best, and also Anna, one of my old investigators. This was her first time in the Church. It is super exciting to see the work in Haarlem and IJmuiden progressing without me.
I didn't take a ton of photos, so I am going to try to get some of the photos from this week from the Zone Leaders. You could put the zone conference photo if you want. Oh, and yes that is half the mission. We are the upper half, and the bottom half contains Rotterdam and Belgium.

A picture we found of Elder Thornton on his mission blog of a Zone Conference in November when they were able to attend the Den Haag temple.
Zone Conference on Dec. 7th. Elder Thornton is in the top right corner. This is when they received Christmas packages that were sent to the mission home. (Ours was full of decorations and a gift to open every day until Christmas, but it sounds like Elder Thornton thinks he is supposed to wait until Christmas Day to open it. Oops!) This is half of the mission!
