SPRING IN BEAUTIFUL BRUXELLES AND THE NETHERLANDS
Both of these photos were taken in front of our apartment buildimg on beautiful Square Ambiorix.
Glorious spring has come to our part of the world!
Our mission on this particular day, was to travel by train to the Netherlands to pick up a mission car to use. The car that we have been driving, finally gave up the ghost!!!! And this after me having been stranded by myself (in the same location) on two different occasions in an underground parking garage, because our old car would not start! I had no cell phone and no French (you meet alot of people that way)! It ended up costing us 280 euros (about $370) to have the Rescue Squad come and start the car, provide a mandatory roadside service contract, and then follow me home to make sure I made it! Enough is enough!!!!
Cute Elder and Sister Pankratz from the Mission Office met us at the train station. They knew my brother Kent and his wife Kae when they were serving in
the Netherlands. Senior couples are great to know in every mission!
Since we do not wear missionary tags, they had no idea whom to look for, however, we spotted them very quickly and enjoyed an instant new friendship.
Everything that you have heard about the gorgeous tulip fields in Holland is true!!! It is an absolutely
breathtaking sight!!!!
breathtaking sight!!!!
The brilliant colors were amazing, and I always love seeing the windmills!
We found a charming restaurant in the village of Lisse, Holland for lunch. It was near the famous Keukenhof flower gardens, and we saw people of all ages riding their bicycles and enjoying a beautiful spring day in the country. It seemed to be such an idylic life!
I loved this beautiful daffodil tree, with a handsome guy standing next to it!
BACK HOME AGAIN... AND ......... TA DAAAAAH... HERE IT IS FOLKS!!!!!!!!
OUR NEW WHEELS!!!!!
AU REVOIR
