Scarf shopping

Its getting cold here so Elder Robison decided he wanted a new scarf so we went shopping after lunch.  Elder Andrew set off the metal detectors so he has to take everything out of his pockets and bag to make sure he didn't steal anything.  The funny thing is he set them off on the way into the store too.

Elder Cook chillin on his palomino.

Zone Conference Dec 8, 2015

This is the Amsterdam and Den Haag Zones










Only 2 had birthdays in our Zone, President Bunnell and Elder Steenblik

Sister Bunnell pointing to people who had something nice to say about these two.

Monday Lunch

Because the office was full of bags for Zone Conference we went out to lunch at Fresh and Fast. You pick your meat, sauce, noodles and vegetables.  Then they cook it in a wok.  Delicious! They even have smoothies you can order.

Sinterklass

Today is the day that the Dutch Santa comes, Sinterklaas.  Our bishops son dressed up like Zwarte Piet, Black Peter.

He had his face painted black and even had a gunny sack.


I thought he was so cute that I had to get a picture.

Christmas Trees

They put up the tree across from our apartment.  They just take out some bricks, dig a hole and plant it.

It was really windy but they got all the orange lights on.
We decided to put our tree up.  We got it from the Romigs. You can see the tree outside


The tree across the street.  They did a better job putting on the lights this year.

Anne Frank house with the Romigs

This is the outside of the Anne Frank house.  They don't let you take pictures inside.
