hey family
thank u so much for the email. church yesterday was pretty crazy. i cant believe that that will be my last sunday in the netherlands as a missionary. the ward here is so awesome and i have meet ppl here that i will never forget.
im actually not sure when i get in at in slc. i get my flight plans on wednesday from president brubaker.
gettin packed up really makes me realize that this is the end, but its really only the begining. there are so many things i want to learn and do when i get home. this mission has changed my life for the eternties. i know that president thomas s monson is a prophet of god and that he or one of the twelve recieved revelation to send me here to the netherlands. i love you all so much.
see ya thursday

hey hey family
last week was probably one of the greatest weeks of my mission. i was able to go to marcos wedding in the temple in den haag last saturday. it was the first temple ceremony that i have attended. the spirit was so strong. it was so awesome to see marco and racheal be sealed for time and eternity. i took pictures so i will show you when i get home.
saskia will be going to the temple tomorrow (thursday) to take out her endowments. i will be able to go with her. i cant wait. oh and sorry that i didnt email on monday. our zone went to keukenhof, the biggest tulip farm in the world. i took a ton of pics. so thats why i wasnt able to email on monday.
i got my package with all me medicines in it. thank you so much. my allergies are doin way better.
you mentioned that the nordstrom sale was comin up. i probably dont need too much cause i bought alot of stuff over here. but my paint size in 32/32 and shirt size is 15.5.
i love you all so much. so i think that mothers day is in about 2 weeks. that will be awesome to be able to talk with all of you. i hear that chad gets home pretty soon, thats exciting.
i love you all. thanks for all your love and support.

thanks for the emails. i love you guys so much. i cant believe i have 5 weeks left. its goin by so fast. im not sure about my flight plan arrangments so ill keep you updated. im not sure if you guys remember marco from eindhoven. he'll be gettin married in the temple on saturday and he called me and i'll be goin to his wedding in the den haag netherlands temple. im so stoked for him. also i dont know if you remember saskia, the dutch lawyer from eindhoven, but she will also be goin through the temple in may. so i'll be able to go to her temple session as well.
im not sure if you guys know or not but there was that big valcano in iceland that irrupted. because of that, alot of ppl cant fly and are stuck here in amsterdam until the air quality gets better. and we had a special surprise yesterday and church when elder lance b wickman from the 70 walked into sacrament meeting. he gave a talk which was awesome. he was on his way to scottland for some church business but got stuck in amsterdam because of the bad air from the valcano.
im so excited for brad and diana. i cant believe that they wil be getting married like 2 weeks after i get home.
i love you all so much. take care
