hey hey howell family
you will not guess where i am right now. AMSTERDAM!!!! i had to come here and take care of some legality papers and such. just signing in and out of city to city. because when you leave a city you have to sign out at the city house but i never signed out from amsterdam so i had to come here and take care of that and some other paper work. and everything is fine, dont worry.
it feels sooooo good to be back in my ""birth"" city. i seriously love this city so much. and i get to see my trainer elder rock, so that should be way fun.
i think were so going to hang out here and go out to lunch with the elders here in amsterdam and maybe buy some stuff. im way stoked. right now were in the amsterdam library right were i use to email when i served here.
oh i will never forget this city. yes, there are girls who sit in front of windows and do naughty things haha, but i love it here. the people, ward members, and the people we taught. i feel so blessed to say that i served here in amsterdam.
well back to zwolle, Rhonda is doing way good. she came to church yesterday with her 2 kids but unfortunatly her boyfriend did not come. he is a way nice guy and i am sure that we will get him soon haha. we meet with rhonda 3 times a week and teach her so hopefuly she will start making some decisions soon. she either has to marry her boyfreind or move out to get baptized. she knows its true and has a testimony. i might have mentioned it but her grandpa is a member here in zwolle. so he has a good influence on her.
i did get the package that bardy sent me. thank you so much bard bard. the songs are sweet. theres like 450 or so, awesome.
and i also did get the photos from you guys in disneyland. that looked like you guys had alot of fun. i wish i could have been there. o and the picture of the netherlands and windmills, priceless. jaxson and mckenzie are growing up pretty fast, thats crazy.
well family, i love you all. i honestly cant beleive its already february. taylor and my friend cameron petty hit their year marks, holy. i have been out for about 9 months. it goes by to fast. i think thee hardest part for me riight now is the language. i wanna be able to just speak what a feel all the time but im still learning.
i love you all
