Johnson's Apartment

The Johnsons finished their mission and we are not getting a new couple to replace them.  A local couple from Rotterdam will be taking their place with the Jovos.  So we had to close their apartment.

The owner told us that everything in the apartment was ours.  So we sent the dryer to Tilburg for the Sisters.  When the owners came to check us out they wanted to know where the dryer was.  So we had to get it back from Tilburg.  Here is Elder Childs carrying it up the stairs by himself.  The elevator broke down so we couldn't use it.

We had sent to office Elders to Tilburg with a load and had to call them to bring it back.

Transfer Day

Elder Clement and Heinricks getting all the legality ready for the 24 new missionaries.  Notice the stack of passports.

Elder Johnson back at his old desk.


Lots of suitcases for departing missionaries and trainers.


Departing missionaries, Elder Argueta, Elder South, Elder Johnson, Elder Davis, and Elder Warner.



Elder Robison, Elder Johnson, and Sister Robison.  He worked in the office with us the first 6 months we were here.  He was a great help and we will miss him.

SAIL in Amsterdam

Once every 5 years they have the largest free nautical event in the world.  They have over 600 ships navigate along the North Sea Canal before mooring in and around Amsterdam.  About a million and a half people attend. The large white building is called" The Eye. It is a museum.






Lots of people


This group of men sang to welcome everyone there.
