Hoera Hoera!! (Hurray Hurray)

Hoera Hoera!!
Konings Dag is al voorbij. Die dag was echt een geke. We moeste heel vroeg opstaan en .....
Just kidding.'I'll do english. Google translate isn't that good :)

We slept in the Amsterdam apartment. Friday night for kings day the next day. Basically, on that day, it's een open market and everyone's allowed to sell stuff and set up booths in the Streets. It's a huge holiday. It's in honor of the Kings Bday. Which was that weekend. So they celebrate and party.  Lots of beer drunken, lots of orange is worn. (orange is the color of the Kings house "het huis van oranje" so everyone wears it that day. ...

We were busy from like 7:30, when we got there, til, .like, 4. And we just quit cause we were dood moe. . .

Our booth had a banner. I am proud to say that it was my idea (but I thank you for it dad:). Its a big mormon.org banner. And It turned out really well. Got people's attention hard core. WE were kinda shoved into a corner cause some people stole our spot (first come first serve basically) so it's jury rigged, but it worked. .
The booth, banner and gingerbread cookies. 
The second pic we look dumb in, cause we're eating some speculaas koekjes our neighbor booth guy gave us, but you can see the banner better. Elder C. and I worked with the sisters on that booth. And two other companionships worked in another one, a little further down the road...

SOO much FUN!
We were beat by the end of the day. 


Helping pop heads off Tulips.
We got the chance today to help a family (mom is member, the rest not) with their tulip fields. We had to pop the heads off. I know, sounds weird. But it makes the strength go back into the bulbs, cause that's actually what they sell. Not the flower itself (at least, this family) In this area of Nederland there's TONS of tulpen fields. It's sooo pretty right now, cause alles is in bloom. 
Life is good....
