Hey everyone!
So this week has been quite a crazy one! Monday we went to the bunkers that are in Ijmuiden. It was really really fun. You could crawl in some of them, so obviously we did. You had to go into these tiny holes in the pitch-black rooms full of just bricks and trash. We also climbed on the top of them and to where we could overlook the beach and the arena. I wish I could send you some of the pictures but since we email at the library, we can't use a USB to upload anything.
Tuesday through Thursday I had to do a double exchange so I was in Den Haag and Zoetemeer. Thursday was my year-mark, I didn't do anything special. We had a busy day and I was too exhausted anything super exciting so we're celebrating it today, just hanging out in Haarlem with the Elders, plus it's Sis. Kimmons birthday tomorrow so it's sort of a half-way-in-between celebration for the both of us.
Friday was super fun, we did a service project for our bishop and then had an appointment with one of our investigators who is just harilious. She said that when we have children we can just send them to her if they get too much to handle and they will live with her in Nederland. She's from Suriname so sister Kimmons always calls her "surimama". She's very much like a mom/grandmother to us. Every time we come to her house she makes us eat even when we say we're not that hungry. I've learned to not eat certain days when I know we have certain appointments with people because they always make us eat despite the fact that we tell them we have a dinner appointment right after.
Anyways, Friday was super fun because we got to have dinner with a member who lives in Amsterdam. She and her husband are so hilarious. We just laughed the whole night. Her husband comes from Suirname so when he asked me what I wanted to eat I obviously said "Roti", and he taught me how to make it. I got it on video! I'm so happy hehe. We had a "sing-off" between us, the elders and them. They won, but I'm convinced it was because it was in their house :p. We were all laughing the entire night.
Saturday was the day I was looking forward to the most. It was a Halloween party with one of the members. She's from Australia but she lived in America for a while. It was a onesie pajama only party so everyone had to wear one to enter. We had some minions there, sully (from Monsters Inc.) a few different animals i.e. a frog, fox, cow, pig, bear, koala, unicorns, Sis. Kimmons was a flying squirrel. There was superman and wonder woman. but I was BATMAN! I even had a cape! I love it, it's so comfortable! I've been wanting a batman onesie for a long time and now I finally have one! I sleep it in every night now lol.
I love Haarlem, the ward is so much fun and the city is beautiful! Fall is my favorite time of year and it's so beautiful to see the orange and yellow leaves falling from the trees in a very picturesque city. It's so crazy to think that I only have 6 months left on my mission...less than 6 months, because our missions were cut short. It's hard to think about life before the mission, it's really funny. This Sunday is transfer calls already, maybe this time Kimmons will stay and I'll finally have another companion for 2 transfers.
Love you all! Hope you have a great week! We are now in November! CRAZY. oh, and Happy 6th Birthday to my little brother, Daniel, on Friday. It's his golden birthday.
