Ik was vergiftigd

Hola or hoi as people say in the Netherlands, The weeks just seem to go by faster and faster each time. This week was good we did quite a bit of service. First we did service at a food bank which we do most every week, there we make crates of groceries and then they give them to low income families and stuff like that so we were there, Then we helped this guy Billey paint a room, His life is kind of a mess. He had some accident 30 or so years ago and now he just lays at home and drinks and all that stuff but we are tring to help him get his life together and help him fix his house up at the same time. It is filthy, but it gets cleaner everytime we go over there so that´s good. He said we are the first people to come in his house for 14 years. I don´t know how true that is but it does look like no one else ha been there but him and his cats haha. Then on friday and on saturday we helped this guy Miguel move. He has a crazy situation, So he is kind of an eternal investigator. He does want to get baptized but he can´t because he lives with his girlfriend who is actually a member and they want to get married but they can´t because she doesn´t live here legally. So what he is doing is paying a lawyer to help her get legalized but he has like no money and his old house was littlerally falling down. The dining room was about a meter below the rest of the house on one side and their bathroom was also way lower than the rest of the house. But he also hadn´t payed the rent on his house in over a year so he was getting kicked out and didn´t know where he was going to live. We were over there for dinner and told him about fasting and told him we would fast with him to find a house so we all fasted. The very next day a wardmember called him and found him a house that was wihin his price range and everything so that was totally awesome. So then we helped him move and he has a ton of stuff, but not really useful stuff just lots of junk and knick nacks. But we were super happy he found a place to move to. He has fed us every single week since I have been here and he even gave Elder Lowder and I each a tie this last wednesday so that was super cool. Other than that this week was pretty much normal, Just lots of teaching the gospl and knocking doors. I did get food poisoning on sunday so that was fun. I only threw up a couple times and felt like I was dying all sunday but it´s ok because I feel much better today haha. But ya that´s most of the highlghts from this week. Oh also on monday we had zone P-day so we went and had a BBQ at the senior couples house and went and played soccer and stuff. It was pretty fun.  

Till next week,
Elder Harding
