Week of April 13, 2009

hey howell fam
yes, i got the package, thank you so much mama.
so my new comp is elder kramer. he is from riverton utah but was born in southeren california. his dutch is way good so thats very helpful. the first week was kinda funny as he was adjusting to the new schedule haha. the mtc really prepared him well.
i got a call yesterday from marco. he was the bishops daughers boyfrend in eindhoven. He told me that on saturday he GOT BAPTIZED. i freaked out. it was so good to hear that. i think him and rachel (bishops daughter) will get married in the temple a year from now. it was kinda of a bummer that i couldnt be there for the baptism but its all good, he is baptized and thats all that matters.
on sunday, a couple from texas visited zwolle to look up there ancestors here. they wrote down our numbers so they will probably be calling you sometime this week. there names are bro and sis black. and they are truely from texas, if you know what i mean.
things are going good here in zwolle. we meant alot of ppl last past week. i had the feeling to look up all the old investigators here in zwolle and we have 6 appointments this week with some of them. we still have more to look up so i am excited.
i love you all so much. i was at a familys house yeaterday here in the branch. their names are the ajubijs. they are from nigieria. we will definantly be visiting them when we come back. but we watched the easter clip of elder hollands talk on lds.org. have you guys seen it? its way powerful.
thanks for all the love and support. i love you all
love,
Elder J Howell
