| After we got back from lunch an older lady had crashed on her bike. The Elders ran outside with our first aid kit and used some gauze to wipe the blood off her face. She ended up going to the hospital. No one knew who she was and someone took her bike and put it somewhere. A few days later she came to our office with a black eye looking for her bike. I hope she found it because we didn't know where it was. |
 |
| March 3 we received one new missionary Elder Isaksen. We are at the pannenkoeken house for lunch with Elder Johnson and Elder Isaksen, and Elder Bosco. |
 |
| Elder Bosco and Elder Yocom |
 |
| Elder Evans, Elder Robison, President Robinson, Sister Robinson, Elder Johnson, Elder Isaksen, Elder Bosco, Elder Yocom, and Elder Bourne. |
 |
| Elder Isaksen is from Norway. We only received one missionary because the others could not get their visas yet. |
 |
| When the missionaries go home they can purchase a plate. They have the mission date and name and all the places they have served. They can have The Hague Temple. |
 |
| Or they can choose a Windmill. Sister Robinson has put me in charge of this. I email them the information forms and then transfer the information to an order form and then collect the money for them. I hasn't been too bad yet because we only had 4 missionaries going home on my last two orders. In May we have 18 going home and in July we have 28. It will be crazy. I hope I don't make any mistakes or we will have to mail their plates home and that will be expensive. |
 |
| We met the Antwerpen Zone leaders in a parking lot in Gent Belgium. |
 |
| We needed to turn in their car to the dealer so we decided to wash and wax the car. |
 |
| It's all clean and vacuumed. There was a man in the parking lot and he thought we were doing a service project and wondered if he could be next. We told him what we were doing and he said he had heard about us and had one of our pass along cards and was coming to church one day. |
 |

| We were in charge of lunch for Zone conference for 60 people so I did 2 giant crockpots full of lasagne and Sister Romig did two pots and Sister Van Dam did the salad and we all made cookies for dessert. Sister Romig also did the french bread. This is Elder Crowson, Elder Johnson, Elder Womeldorf, and Harry. |
