16-19 November 2010



We don't have many pictures this week since we just posted our blog a few days ago, but this is one of me and Sister Hofman, one of our senior couple missionaries. This is in the town they live in, Deventer, which is 3 hours north of us in the Netherlands. We drove up there early one morning to switch cars with them and while there, they took us on a little walk around their town. This is their little city centrum. We loved their town - the little shops, the cobblestone streets, the friendly shopkeepers who all spoke good English, the bakeries, etc.

We especially loved their big, huge apartment!! This is part of it here. They are in charge of a young adult outreach center and the whole downstairs of their big apartment is where their young adult kids meet a couple of times a week. The elders also use their center for teaching investigators at times. Their apt is newly remodeled and beautiful and HUGE!! We were pretty envious. Upstairs they have 4 bedrooms and two huge bathrooms, and an office area. They have big windows looking out on their cute street. They can walk to their cute downtown area where they grocery shop, go to bookstores, tailors, bakeries, sandwich shops, etc. Their apartment is so light and nice, we loved it! They are the sweetest couple.

Just thought we'd throw in a few pictures from last week - the Grand Place at night is pretty impressive - even in the rain.

Here it is again, the town hall at the Grand Place, in Brussels.

More windmills at Kinderdijk.
This is the Amsterdam harbor we saw on our canal boat ride last week.
