| One guy we talked to this week was so impressed that we dedicate 2 years of our lives to the work of the Lord, that he gave us some food. It is a Caribbean snack. Basically, pita bread filled with cheese and then deep fried. Boo Yaah! |

| Dinner at Erfan's -- One big happy family in Den Haag |
Well, let’s start off with the transfer news. Elder Bishesar and I are both staying in Den
Haag! I am super happy to be staying with him for another transfer because we
have had a blast so far.
This week I went on an exchange to Amsterdam with Elder
Bonner. That is such a beautiful city,
but so sad that it’s so filthy. Literally the whole place smells like weed!
I also got to go on an exchange with one of my MTC companions, Elder
Andrew! We have had the chance to go on quite a few exchanges on our missions
which are always fun.
It is super interesting to do finding here in Den Haag. It is a mixing pot of cultures. Basically every person we talk to comes from
some other country. From China to
Bulgaria to Columbia to Nigeria. Literally everywhere! We have met people from
so many different cultures. There are
parts of the city where when you look around, every woman you see is wearing
one of those headdress things. Definitely
a big change from Utah!
We had a dinner appointment with Erfan this week and the
other Elders and the Sisters came as well. She made us some delicious Persian
food!
We had a really cool miracle this week. We had a lesson and we were about 15 minutes
early, so we decided to knock a door. The
very first door we knocked was a woman who looked very sad and she let us in. She went on to tell us that her brother just
died yesterday. We were able to just
quickly assure her that she would see her brother again and we testified of the
Plan of Salvation. That was just a cool
testimony builder how the Lord leads us to people who need comfort. That is something I have seen countless times
on my mission, and maybe the people don’t want to be taught and aren’t itching
to be baptized, but they are people who need the comforting words of the
gospel.
I don’t know about you guys, but I am sure pumped for
Christmas. Have a great week!
