Mission Week 24, Eindhoven Week 4

It's super-awesome that Gideon won! You two will have a lot of fun in Florida, and Gideon will have a blast (pun not intended) competing. What is the schedule of the competition going to be like? You might want to try figuring out why his nose started bleeding when we went to California, and see if there's anything you can do to prevent it from happening again. That wouldn't be good if he got a bloody nose in the middle of the competition.
I think it's good that Aaron's making good, educated decisions regarding all of his extra-curricular activities. Marching band and Cross Country together wouldn't work out very well, considering Cross Country practices every day, about the same time as the marching band rehearsals. And because he's no longer in a school where they screw up everybody's schedules, he'll be able to take a band class. It is really scary that he can already get his learner's permit. But I'm getting used to scary drivers, so I'll be comfortable walking when I get home in a year and a half. Wow. Almost six months already.
The mission office address is the one I sent to you a while ago. It's in Leiden.
I hope that Megan can find a job that she'll enjoy that will also let her finish school. I'm sure she'll eventually find something.
It's awful that there was an accident so early into the time of the Trax line behind our house. Last transfer, we were doing a lot of travel by train, and sometimes we had to find another way to our destination while they took care of accidents. It's never good to hear about something like that that happens. Hopefully the part of the back yard that they want to purchase won't be big or do anything to our future plans for our yard. But it might encourage us to get our yard in better condition. When is the Trax line supposed to start going through now?
I do remember Sister Corrin slightly. I've seen her in church a couple of times, but that's it. It's cool that everybody was so supportive. She probably had a really spiritual experience. I know I did when I went through the temple for the first time.
This last week has been somewhat uneventful. We didn't come across any new potential investigators, but as we were walking through the centrum last night, we ran into an inactive member who's having a hard time right now. It's really cool, because the Bishop had asked the missionaries to look her up right before I got to Eindhoven. Hopefully we can help her through her current struggles and get her to start coming back to church.
The Church is true. Heavenly Father loves and cares about every one of us. I love you all.
