Well well well, Fancy meeting you all here on this fine monday evening. Normally it´d be morning but we had some lessons then so our schedule is a tad bit weird. This week was crazy. We had 2 exchanges and a zone conference so that means that I was not in rotterdam working for 3 whole days this week. It doesn´t feel like I was even here at all. But it was good. The Zone conference was really good. We had Elder Saban our area 70 come and talk to us. He is a really cool guy. He seemed super genuine and just like he knew what he was talking about. It´s nice to have that sometimes. The main thing I got out of the conference was that as long as we are working hard and doing our best work we will be blessed. I feel like that sums up just life pretty well. Sometimes there are trials but we just have to do our best everyday. Also, We got our transfer calls this last saturday. That was crazy. So I will be staying in Rotterdam and finishing the training of Elder Dyle who has been here for one transfer. I have only been here for 2 so this should be and interesting little while haha. Elder Lowder will be going up to gronigen and co training a brand new elder with someone else, He will also be a district leader there and none of them have ever been there befor eso that means that they are whitewashing the area. which is also crazy. We have been looking up lots of people since Elder Lowder is leaving. One of them is Billey. He is a 65 year old irish guy, he has been drinking a lot for most of his life, sort of a functioning alcoholic. But we have still been helping him get his life together. His househas gotten 10x cleaner since we last went there so that is a positive sign. He is a bit of a ranter though. Today he got going off on animals for a bit. one of his quotes was that hippos can run up to 40 miles per hour. He also always tells me that he is like my irish grandaddy because he is the age of my grandfather haha. We do talk to him about gospel stuff too, he just gets sidetracked sometimes haha. (P.s. I don´t think Hippos can run that fast) But ya. This week was pretty good. Crazy to think I´ll be the one in charge of rotterdam here pretty soon. I guess I am ready haha. I understand most of what is said. Still not all by a ways, but most of it. I´ll let you peeps know how it goes next week haha.
Peace out, Elder Harding
