Boom Boom Pow (NEW VIDEO)

Today we went to Haarlem, Holland. It's another city that is home of the Corrie Ten Boom house. We got to experience her house, which was nothing short of unbelievable. If you dont know who she is, she was a woman that helped hide jews in WWII... The hiding place was about the size of a small walk-in closet. People hid in there for 2 and a half days without leaving at one point! I love learning about people in history who stand against injustice, regardless of what that might mean for their status, or health, or life goals. I hope that I would have the strength to do that. Haarlem is a beautiful city, WAYY more chill than Amsterdam. Definitely not as many tourists.
Then after that we went to Moses and Melissa's house for dinner. They went out on a date after dinner, and we stayed there and babysat. Except the baby was sleeping, so we watched a movie on prostitution... it didnt catch my interest, so I read Blue Like Jazz.. When the movie was over Calley and I decided to do some entertaining, we made up and performed a dance thats skill level was equivalent to a 7th grade drill team routine. (see below) Its always nice to be easily entertained.
Tomorrow is Mady, Shelby and I's last day in the city :( We are going to have quiet time in the Red Light in the morning, and then hit up a few more museums... I've been wanting to paint all day, and we are going to see Van Gogh :) I'm excited. Then we will probably meet up with some of the ladies from YWAM for the last time... and then i'll be heading home.
I'm so thankful that God had a mighty plan for this week for me and the team. Thank you guys so much for constantly praying for us. We could not have done this without you. We learned so much, and have been impacted in so many ways. I know this week was a multitude of divine appointments, no doubt. I can't wait to see you guys all back in the states and tell you all about it :)

Expectin' a Miracle :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE.
