Yes, it was a week ago today that I drove home after school to visit and have dinner with my grandparents and I drove home again today for another very special visit. About three weeks ago I found out that Concetta and Killian, newlyweds from the Netherlands, were coming to Utah! I got to know Concetta while serving in Den Haag and instantly became friends with her. I also met her husband, Killian, while he and I were in the MTC. He was preparing to serve in Russia and he would come and help our class with the Dutch language. Anyway, when I found out that they were coming, Concetta and I made plans to see each other. I arranged a little dinner at my house for all previous Dutch missionaries that could attend. I also invited Familie Koot who recently moved to Ogden from Den Haag, the Netherlands. With it being a Tuesday and all it was a little difficult for many to make it but we had a great group and I am so thankful for all who made the effort to come! It was so good to hear pure Dutch (not missionary Dutch) again and to be together with so many that I love. I hope that Concetta and Killian enjoy the rest of their time! Just a little side note, because I couldn't make it home until 2:30 my Mom and sister did all of the prep. I am so thankful for them!
