the language is comin along. i can get around but not quit express my whole feelings of what i want to say. but i love learning the nederlands language. its truely a blessing. i mean i'll be able to speak nederlands when i get home. oh and nederlands means dutch here.
we had stake conference yesterday. it was so awesome. it was held at a conferece center here in amsterdam. president woodland was there and spoke. also the stake president, president Oddens spoke. it was amazing. also Bishop Edgly spoke. he is from utah and im not sure if he is a 70, or something. but they called him bishop so idk.
the weather here is good. i feel perfect in my suit. i was looking for a jacket here and some sweaters for the winter but they are way so expensive here. i want t jacket from Northface. like a thin, black one. i want it longer then my suit coat, but not like a trench coat. could you also buy me some sweaters. i dont really care what kind. maybe 2-3. and also, and northface i saw an sweet shoulder bag (one strap). its blake and out 1 feet wide and long. maybe i could get these things for my birthday. oh also some thick socks.
i love you all so much
Elder Howell
