so sunday was awesome. i had to give a ten minute talk in DUTCH. i found out on saturday so i had 1 hour to write a 10 minute talk in dutch. omg it was horrible. the only good part was my testimony at the end. it was quit the experience.
the ward here is great. one of the best wards in the netherlands i have heard and it is true. the bishop is from austrailla. he moved here like 20 years ago so he knows dutch. we did service for him on saturday so i got to know him. hes way funny. has an austrillian accent.
