Groetjes Iedereen en Fijne Moederdag,

Another crazy, fast week! This week consisted of Rain, Referrals, and Risk. Well, not really risk, but this place keeps you on your toes! I love it ;) This is going to be a short email. I had the opportunity to skype my family last night, and that was amazing! They are incredible, but now I don't feel like I need to share too much, cause I got all "skyped' out yesterday. I had a great week, none-the-less. We had many appointments, and literally it rained ALL WEEK. For those of you who know me well, I love, love the rain. Especially when we are in a car with the ZL's, listening to lekker MoTab. We had a couple of really interesting appointments, once again, but our investigators are progressing. The Baptism for Danny got pushed back for this upcoming Sunday, because is was Moederdag this Sunday. He was telling me he will visit me this Friday, so that will be great! This ward is amazing in Rotterdam South. They treat us so well, but are also really Dutch, so if you ever serve here, don't be late to dinner appointments, or you will get slapped, and then they will pamper you for dinner still ;) I really enjoy this area. At first I didn't like it, but I think it is fun to be in the hood and learn their ways. :) The work is great. We were teaching all week, which is what this city hasn't experienced in over a year. It has been really nice to see success in a dead city. The other Elders are also seeing much progress.
Transfer news came in last night. I got a call from Elder Eastmond, AP, and he asked me if I would be willing to train! I'm really excited for this opportunity, because I had the opportunity to break Elder Childs, and that was a blast! It is so fun to see missionaries grow and learn so fast! It has been great working with Elder Childs, but he has gotta move on to bigger and better things. He is going to Arnhem with another great Elder. The Lord has been so good to me, and I have nothing to complain about. I love it out here, and I'm grateful to server here! I love you all so much, and I hope that you all keep killing it in America!
Till next week!

Elder Elkins
