Week 71: Meeting some Greek Gods...

Hoi jullie!

How's it going? We had a pretty good week. We spent a lot of time finding and also got to go on exchanges with the ZL's. We also found a solid new investigator! That has been something we have been struggling with. We have so many investigators, but all of them are super unreliable. We only one prescheduled appointment that went through this week, and we had 5 of them in a row on Saturday...
But the one that did go through was awesome! His name is Calithos! It's a Greek name, but he's actually from Groningen in Nederland, which was my last area! We met him while doing banner contacting in the Centrum. He stopped on his bike to look at our poster of Jesus, and we had a decent conversation, and then he said "I'll come back," and just biked away. He didn't come back before we left, but he called us! And now we have had a couple good appointments with him, and not only does he respond to our calls and texts, but he actually wants to meet with us. He says that he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet! YAAAAS! Next time we are going to help him connect all the dots
We also went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders Elder Reaveley and Elder Jensen (both from my MTC group) It is always pretty cool to go out with Elder's my "age." I hope I get to have another older companion. It has been so awesome to train, but it would be pretty nice to be able to not have to lead all of the time. Not that Elder DuWors does that. He actually super responsible and dedicated. 
I hope you all have a great week!
They have hamburgers here, but they put them in the bun... So I tried one, just to check it off the list :)

The beautiful view ​from​ our apartment! The leaves have finally turned colors, and it looks pretty great.

Love,
