Hi,
So p-day is tuesday. Can you please please please send
me my Camelbak water bottle? I'm continually dehydrated here. like my lips are
white. For real. Also some pictures would be nice, everyone else has them but
me. Thanks for sending the thank you notes out for me. I saw holli on Sunday too, at the
mission conference.
So anyway, my companion is Zuster **** from Colorado.
We have a lot of little things in common, like working at Toys R us and such.
There are two Dutch districts. Our district has 2 elders, and one is going
Spanish speaking. He's already fluent, so they're basically giving him a crash
course in dutch, so he gets to leave before us. Then there are six sisters, and
the other district is the same. Our branch is called the Scandinavian branch,
plus the dutch. So we have the Finnish, Norwegians, Swedish, Icelandic- but
they just left, so they wont get new ones for a couple months, Danes, and then
the two elders going to the West Indies mission speaking dutch, it's a country
in south America that starts with an S. Cant remember the name. I get a lot of mail.
I pretty much hog our mailbox. I'm not even kidding. Especially with what we
call "male, mail". The first few days here were terrible! I didn't
know if I could do it, but look at that, I totally did. A typical day: we get
up, go to gym, shower get ready, have breakfast, personal study, and then three
hours of language study, lunch, then we teach our investigator, in dutch so we
have another three hours of classroom time to do that. Anyway we don't get a
long time to email so I will talk to you next week. I hope all is well.
Much love
Karoline
Oh, by the way, today was
"magic Tuesday" so anyone who is going to Belgium has to get
their blood taken and collect a stool sample. so gross. They told us that
Belgium is pretty much the only country that requires a nice little stool
sample. The lady who collected my blood missed my vein and then fished around
for it, so i got to have that lovely experience. Eventually she just changed
arms. Fun day!
