Week 24: Merry Christmas!



Merry Christmas!

Amsterdam is shining with Christmas lights, and people have been really soaking in the Christmas spirit. Sometimes a little too much... Our week was a little slow since everyone has been super busy with Christmas, but we have still been doing great. The Amsterdam ward had an excellent Christmas party, and the missionaries got to decorate it! It was super fun! It was completely filled, and we had to set up a few more tables.

The Skype call with my family was great, but I was very surprised at how fast the time flew! We will still have a lot to catch up on.

​ (Lance didn't have a camera on the computer he was using, so he could see us, but we could not see him :( Instead we saw the cute photo of his 12-year-old self that happens to be his Skype profile picture. ​He held pretty true to the 40 minute rule and we did get to talk for a minute with both his companion and his host, Brother Vervoert​. We also received a package on Christmas Eve from Elder Thornton containing a Belgian Chocolate Letter T!​​)​
Our investigators are still doing well, although they were too busy to meet with us this week... But they are still progressing, and love learning.
I will let the photos tell the rest of the story.

Christmas party set up! I forgot to take photos during it...

Hobo Elder Bartolini... He grabbed a blanket instead of a jacket last p-day, so we just had to take the photo opportunity.

Long story short... Elder Bartolini is a total goofball... :)

On Friday Pedro tried to kill us with a crazy amount of food...

We finished it anyways!

Rob Vervoert and his daughter hosted us for Christmas dinner!

Enjoy the Holidays!
