Our Christmas Bear!

October 12, 2008 We were set apart as missionaries today. Here we are front of the church where we will be serving for 2 years.

More day out....

From our day out, we drove back
besides the Apeldoorns Kanaal.

The colors are amazing!

I love to drive here and it brings
back so many memories. My dad
loved it when I took him here.

Our day out!

Today it was probably one of the last
beautiful days of the year.
So we decided to go out for a while.

We visited the pretty little town
Doesburg. Cute!
























We bought some lunch and drove
up to the Posbank. A little bit hazy,
but really beautiful. One of the most
beautiful places in the country (at
least to us).
It was great to just sit out here, eat
and talk and enjoy the sunshine.
