Billy's Mission: It's hard to be clever in Dutch, dangit!

My goodness. I am pooped. All the pooped. So much pooped the only word I can think of for pooped is pooped. Today was kind of an odd day, because it wasn't P-day. That was supposed to be on Saturday, but that also wasn't really P-day. Then our Sunday schedule was also really weird, so I'm a little thrown off. You get so used to a very set schedule as a missionary. I hadn't realized how used to it I was until it got thrown off.

Before I get to today's craziness, let me talk about the rest of the week. Elder Moomey and I taught. And oh, did we teach! Did we teach? Yeah, we did teach. Granted.... not all of the lessons went as well as others. For example, one was an absolutely wasted man in a refugee camp. I'm talking three sheets to the wind. We had to wake him up when we showed up for our appointment. BY YELLING AND SHAKING HIM. He was gone. Yeah, we didn't stay very long.

Another one was a 93 year-old man that lived quite a distance away and wasn't actually all that interested in hearing our words. He could have easily told us that earlier, before setting an appointment with us. Once again, we didn't stay very long.

However, for the first time in a very long time we had an investigator at church! She hustled out pretty quick afterwards, but I think she had a good experience. We have another appointment, so that's a good sign! The work moves ahead.

Okay, I have two things I still want to talk about. One is my day today, and the other is the guys I'm with. I'm going to do the guys I'm with first, because I'm sure you'l find that interesting, and you'll also be looking forward to the thing at the end!

The first fellow to speak about it Elder Bishesar (Pictures will be in order). He is a little older than the rest of us and comes from Suriname. He's a super genuine guy and is very funny, sometimes without meaning to be. Normally without meaning to be. He is also a very good cook! So we enjoy a lot of good food!

Next is Elder Yocom. He's a very sarcastic and fun Elder that just got out of the office. He's super organized and likes to have things clean. Really clean. It's nice, because the apartment is always tidy, but he never freaks out at people or anything. His cleanliness is the type that just seeps into everyone, so we do a good job. He tolerates my humor very well, and is a lot of fun.

Then Elder Moomey. He's my companion. He's a missionary on his last transfer. Sometimes things make him really ready to go home. (Cute dogs.... he misses his a lot) However, he keeps in there by being one of the most well-rounded people I've ever met. He can get along with just about anyone and knows people well. I have a really good time working with the guy. He is absolutely hilarious as well, and he knows it, too.

Okay, my day. We had the King's Day today. It's a celebration of the King's... birthday or coronation or something. Basically it's a huge party over the entire country where people get super drunk! Then, on certain streets people have this big yard sale. Really, you can just try to sell all your old junk. And EVERYONE comes out to do it. So, we set up a stand there and gave away all kinds of stuff! A ton of BoMs and pamphlets in a ton of different languages. I also went and found a guitar to play to draw people over to the stand! And it totally worked! It was great. Okay, actually, I have to cut short the story about it so I can have time to load up my pictures. Okay, here we go.
