HEY mama and Howell family
so i do miss den haag. its was kinda of a bumber to only have been there for 6 weeks. i meet so many amazing ppl there. i'll be keeping contact with alot of ppl that i meet there for sure.
Apeldoorn is awesome. my new comp is a stud. his name is elder burton and its not elder hansen. mom i think you wrote in your email, elder hansen but he was my companion when i was in zwolle. he went home last april. elder burton is my new companion. he is from sandy. he knows chirs weinburger and some other ppl i knew who went to jordan, small world huh.
the work here is actually going wayyy good. chruch on sunday was so awesome. this is the most down to earth ward that i have served in. they're all so nice and love the missionaries. and it is a ward. there were about 100 people at chruch last sunday. the bishop is way funny.
its also nice to be in a car fulltime. you get alot more done i can tell ya that much.
there was a guy who i meet in den haag who was from wyoming and he served his mission in the D.R. with bardy. he is in america right now and i think that he has talked to bardy alright on facebook. well his name is Kier wolfley and he is comin back out to the netherlands in sept and if theres anything you want to give him to give to me, im sure he wouldnt mind.
well fam, i love you all. ive never expereinced so much ""change"" before in my life then on my mission. ive learned so much. its a blessing to be here in the netherlands. i love you all
