March 29, 2010

Hello you good old family of mine,
My e mail worked out. As you could have probably guessed there was no real problem. I'm just a bit slow with the computer stuff. i did have to recover my password from the church website so i think that took some Internet savvynes to do:)

I did get that package from grandma with the book 2 weeks ago as well as four or five of her letters at once. So yeah the mail is weird here. Also i got dad's dear elder letter. It seems that that was a week faster than the normal letters so that might be the way to send the written letters. And how did grandma know i was doin that in the MTC?

We are now in our 3rd apartment in 1 transfer! I was in the last one for just 2 weeks because we were just waiting for the one we're in now to be ready. In our newest one we have a decent washer but still know dryer.

I tried to send you some pics but i accidentally formatted my memory card! yeah I'm not great with technology. but now that I'm on the new website i should get some to you next week. in the meantime Elder Dirkmaat should send one of us at the new apartment. Which is a whole 2 story house!

We have one guy that could possibly be baptized in two weeks. It's Ralph the security guard that i told you about a few weeks ago.So it he comes to church the next couples of weeks he'll be dunked. Else wise nobody else seems to be down for it yet. One lady had a really great lesson with Elder Schroath and a zone leader while i was on exchanges and the spirit was really strong there after they asked in prayer with her if Joseph smith was really a prophet. But she just said she felt weird and said that God always makes things really clear for her like in a dream because she's had dreams that helped her before...oh boy.

I think I'm gonna buy a new seat for my bike because we bike a ridiculous amount of miles a day and its just not working out with my sore behind.

Still no cultural center trips. Probably because we have to move every p day. But theres a pretty cool Hindi temple and a big mosque by where we live.

SO i accidentally heard about standings in the NBA yesterday while biking by a sports bar place;) I heard the lakers were not in the top 2 in the west so I'm happy.


Well that was great to hear from the cuzins too.
Sorry i have no idea what my address is but we didn't move far so you can just look at the streets and think of me biking there.

I don't know if i answered all you q's but hopefully i did.
I love you all! Thanks for that packages( that hopefully get here soon.. or ever)

Love Elder Hayden Van Meeteren
