Hey, allergies have been killing me, too. On Wednesday I got either a cold or a really bad allergy attack. I'm not sure which it was, but it kept me from working for a day and a half. And I went through about fifty tissues. It was miserable. But now that's over, and I'm just dealing with the regular allergies. Actually, they're a little bit stronger because I'm in the Netherlands, and not Utah. And there's a reason that Holland is famous for being green.
We've actually had warmer weather lately. The other day I took the lining out of my jacket, so now it's pretty much just protecting me from wind and rain. But the ducks have all of their water back, instead of packing scores of ducks into a little tiny stretch of unfrozen canal. They're really happy. The Dutch are kind of disappointed that the Elfstedentocht isn't going to happen again this year. It's been over a decade since the last one.
I love Victor! Next week, when I have my camera with me, I'm going to need to send you a picture of the pie I made so you can show it to him. It was yummy.
It's really weird being halfway through my mission. Every transfer just keeps going faster. Before I know it, I'll be getting the letter saying that I'm going home soon. And even before that, the Brubakers are going to be going home. That'll be weird.
I'm super-excited for both of the good news moments from the ward. Tell Fred that people here have little bikes for their kids that don't have pedals, so the kids can practice balancing on their bikes without getting their feet too far from the ground.
I'm really excited that Dad has a job! What exactly does the company for which he works do? I think you might have told me before, but I can't remember if you have.
The photo of Cheyenne's baptism was actually taken the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when she was actually baptized. I just came to Alkmaar and had a baptism that week.
The missionary work in Alkmaar's slowly but steadily picking up. We had a major change introduced at our Zone Training on Tuesday, and it's helping us contact a lot more people. We haven't gotten any new investigators from it yet, but we've only had the chance to get in two full days of it.
The Church is true. I love you all.
P.S. I'd like to thank the Ellis family for their letters. They were really needed and appreciated. I'll respond to them soon.
