Hoi Hoi


Hoi familie!!



Life is great here in Den Haag!! My companion is a character, he's on his 3rd transfer, so a pretty big gap, and we just get along super well!!  It's ridiculous how much fun were having here, don't worry though, were not out of control, were doing the work, and were doing good work, which is why were having so much fun!  Too many stories, too many expiriences, i don't know where to begin!  I guess i'll start with stephen, he is going to get baptized on the 16th, he is a great guy, and i don't think i've taught anyone so prepared in my life.. we taught tithing, and before we could, he pulled out the scripture in malachi about the blessings of tithing.. he has no questions, just gets everything, just waiting patiently for his baptismal day, and his chance to then go to the temple to be sealed with his family.. we are scrambling to find something that we can do for him, help him in some way, but he just says he's fine, he's wonderful, so me and my companion are now doing ''operation serve stephen''  and all that we came up with is to make him some bread, so we'll suprise him with some freshly baked bread, were excited =) 
Had some great lessens with some other investigators, i'm slowly meeting all the people here in den haag, we also have found some new investigators that were excited about, I think I told you about the young man in the wheelchair that stopped us, but we had an appointment with him this past week, and he's solid, so grateful for the book of mormon, and has committed to follow the lessens and everything.  He has a very humbling story, fell off of a 4 story buidling and broke his back, became paralyzed, but has slowly worked his way back so he can at least have some mobility in his legs, can't walk or anything, and what's truly amazing is that he lives at the top of a 4 story building, with no elevator, so every day, he climbs up and down the stairs using just his hands.. humbling story, and a very humble man, I want to help him so bad, and I hope that everything works out for him.. we should be having an appointment tonight, so we'll see how the second appointment goes.  We have this chinese student, his name is fang, what's cool about him is he's really good friends with sun, who i taught and he was eventually baptized the first time around that i was in den haag.  Fang has a testimony, and we are helping him get through his busy schedule, but i asked him if he wanted to be baptized, and he said that he did.. so good things happening here, and it just keeps getting better!!  The lord is really blessing us, there was another man in a wheelchair that stopped us, and said that he wanted to talk to us, and also this random lady from nigeria called us and said she's coming back end of june and wants to meet with us, this past sunday an old investigator from a few months ago, just walked into church unannounced and said had had just come back from vacation and wanted to continue the lessens now.. so many random miracles all at once, we don't know what's going on here, but god is blessing us, so were just taking it all in stride!! 
Well love you all, hope all is well, enjoy your summer, because over here its just raining... really just fantastic, especially on a bike again =P  ha ha
Have a wonderful week!
