Early April

This is Ismarei on the right. She was attending the Rotterdam 1st ward for 2 years before deciding to be baptised. We went on a joint teach with the Edlers when they met with her to initaite planning for the baptism.  She bore her testimony as part of the baptismal program. She talked about how one day there was a spin (spider) in her room. She opened the window to put it out and hit somehow got on her had. She looked at it and felt the spirit whisper not to be afraid. She then realized the spirit was saying not to be afraid of being baptised. She was then at peace.



This is Elder Brownell on the left. He returned to the mission with his partents about a month after he departed for home. They came to Ismarei's baptism. He is like Bill Niegh the science guy. Always thinking and inquiring. 4/7



When we first heard of Edler Brownell, he was known as the fix it guy. The first time we met him he had a steam cleaner in hand and was steam cleaning the Utrecht apartment. 3/28/11

It is spring in Dordrecht and the trees are in bloom.

The sisters planned an Easter egg hunt on the Monday after Easter. It was a rainy day so they hid easter sacks in the Utrecht church. We had a fun time finding them and blowing bubbles. 4/9
