Another week has passed

So, it turns out that I am probably living in the same house that Judith stayed in when she was on her mini-mission some 5 years ago. So not only are we serving in the same area (albeit with different primary occupations), but I might even be in the same house as she was. That's funny. I might have to ask people (who've been here more than five years) if they remember her. Though I would be surprised if there were many who were here 5 years ago. People in this branch move about a lot.

Anywho, this week has not been busy at all and I have had time to do plenty of studying and thinking and some writing. On Monday, we met with President Robinson and the assistants and I shared a message on making the right decisions now so you will not regret it later, or something like that, from the Liahona.

On Monday evening, we heard about an emergency transfer, and found out on Tuesday that elders Bean and Goethals were moving from Kortrijk to Leiden and Den Helder and elders Argueta (from Tiel) and Cook (from Den Haag) taking their place and Thomas taking Argueta's place. All very complicated and unexpected, so we had to bring up a bed and mattress to Den Helder and the same to Leiden as they would both be threesomes. This comes about two weeks before the actual transfers, so I'm curious what will happen then. 

Wednesday and Thursday were normal office days, with the ET happening on the former and most of the zone leaders dropping by on Thursday after mission leader council.

Friday we again went to Brussels for legality, to pick up some legal cards/documents. This time, we only went with one other elder (Elder Thueson) and met elder and sister Evenhuis upon arrival. On the way back we stopped off at the Burger King and then dropped elder Thueson off in Rotterdam. And finally arrived back at the office around 5 o'clock. At 7, we went to the brand new Zoetermeer building for the open house for our branch. The building is big! It looks like the ones in America. And it's the new stake centre.

This morning we played football with the Leiden elders and two brothers from the branch, or rather, *I* played with them as my companions chickened out and sat in the car, while the rest of us were out in the rain. But it was a good workout and a fun game and seem to be getting a bit better haha.

Well, here are some pictures, finally:
