Having a great time in Haarlem!

Well, I made it to Haarlem and am glad to be here!

Was welcomed by Michiel and Noah last night and stayed with them, he's a great guy and a fantastic father as well! We had a lot of fun getting caught up and sharing stories...

Today I stopped by Rop and Rit's, my hosts while the choir was here on tour, and suprised them! I ended up staying most of the day and because Michiel is gone tonight they insisted that I stay here for the night too... fantastic people, I am so blessed to be here!

Tonight around 7 I went over to meet Ken and his friend Ryan at the Van Galan household to go to an organ concert at the city church. Was there a little early so it was fun sitting and talking with all of them, meeting up with more old friends, and Michiel showed up too! Klass, Sjoard, and Imke were very welcoming, already hosting two guests and still welcoming me in their home for the evening...

The concert was great, the organ itself was a magnificent instrument, ask Ken more about it, my description will do it no justice. It was good to hang out with Ken again too, forgot how much I missed him!

After the concert we picked up Klass and went for ice cream! Had a great time then back at the house watching the final minutes of the match and just having a good time! Now back at Rop and Rit's, getting ready for bed!

The bottom line is, I am so glad to be back in Haarlem... have definitely made some lasting relationships here, and already not looking forward to leaving. I have made so many new friends on the whole trip, it makes me feel so blessed to have my world be so much bigger...

Anyways, no more time on the computer, gotta talk to Rop more before bed! :)

Blessings,
John
