Week of June 29, 2009

hey mama and howell fam
so this week was my first week in Den Haag. o my gosh, i love this city sooo much. its the goverment city of the netherlands. i think its the 3rd or 2nd biggest city in the netherlands. amsterdam being the first. i do miss zwolle soooo much. especially the branch, investigators, roda, tami, and also my lil baby, elder kramer. he was such an awesome elder.
well my new comp is elder wells from providence utah. he is in elder kramers group, who i trained. so elder wells has been out since february. he is a way awesome elder and speaks the language just as good as me which is a blessing. its pretty awesome living in a 4 man apartment. ive just been so used to living in a small city so its kind of a huge change coming from zwolle to den haag.
the ward here is sweeeet. theres about 18o active members. theres ppl from africa, figi, america, china, and other places. its going to be way fun serving here.
and mom asked about how i got here. i was just sent on a train by myself from zwolle to den haag. the transportation system here is incredible. trains, buses, and trams are so useful.
i cant beleive that lil mckenzie is 1 yrs old. thats crazy. the mission is going by so fast.
i love you all so much. thanks for your prayers, love and support. i appreciate it.
love,
Elder jeff Howell
