Hello Belgium!

Hello Family!

Well, there are problems with the new e-mail system, so I was not able to read your e-mails this week. Mission life has taught me to not sweat the small stuff, so I hope there was nothing too urgent in the letters :) They should be there waiting for me next week.

Also, my letters will probably be a little short these coming weeks, as I have to get used to French keyboards here in Belgium. The letters are all in the wrong place. So if there are a few qs where there should be a's, sorry- it adds new meaning to the phrase watch your p's and q's (haha- get it?)

Life in Belgium couldn't be more different than the £Netherlands. It is taking some getting used to, and I must say, I miss he Netherlands terribly, but I am already finding a place in my heart for the Belgian people: They are really quite friendly, even more so than the Dutch, and being in such a big city is very fun- there are so many different kinds of people here! I am still getting my bearings; but I am grateful to serve here. Leaving Groningen was super hard; but I feel great about my new assignment.

It is great to be back with Zr: Bennett- we are quite the team as far as friendship and unity go. It is nice to start the transfer with a unified companionship, but I can't wait to get our new comp- she will add an extra dimension that will be great I’m sure. Until then; its just us two old ladies having a blast in Antwerpen!

I love you all so much! Take care!

Liefs;
Zuster Cherie Gulliver
