Between Holidays

Desi got some great experience working with the sisters. Here she is at the Amsterdam apartment with Sisters Jeffs and Larsen.

Desi also worked with Sisters Kremer and Welch in Antwerpen. Inbetween apointments, we too them to the pizza restaraunt in Antwerpen.

After dinner we walked by the Church.

This is the square where the restaraunt is located.

On the other side of the church is this square with a statue. 
Wiki: According to folklore, and as celebrated by the statue in front of the town hall, the city got its name from a legend involving a mythical giant called Antigoon who lived near the river Scheldt. He exacted a toll from those crossing the river, and for those who refused, he severed one of their hands and threw it into the river Scheldt. Eventually, the giant was slain by a young hero named Brabo, who cut off the giant's own hand and flung it into the river. Hence the name Antwerpen, from Dutch hand werpen— werpen means to throw.





Desi also worked in Breda with Sisters Hill and Herring. She rode 'achter op' or on the back of sisters Herrings bike to travel to a members house to borrow a bike for her. 'Achter op' has caused some injuries to Elders but everyone does it here.
