The "Dutchie" District left Salt Lake City, Utah at 11:04 a.m. on Monday, August 4, 2014 and arrived to the Netherlands on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 7:56 a.m. (That's Monday, August 4, 2014 at 11:56 p.m. our time.) They traveled 5,402 miles to get to where the Lord has called them to serve.


Good Luck to the "Dutchie" District!!!!!!

This is an email I received from Ben's mission mom, Sister Brenda Robinson this morning at 7:00 a.m. (3:00 p.m. Ben's time.)

Dear Families of our New Missionaries:

Sister Fredrickson, Elder Shaw, Elder Steenblik, Elder Andrew and Elder Parr arrived safely here in the Netherlands this morning.  They are currently getting some legality work done and will soon be to the Mission Home for a well needed nap.  This evening we will have a testimony meeting and fireside.  They will receive their first area assignment and who their trainer/companion will be for the coming transfer.  Please keep up with what is happening in the mission on the mission blog:  belgiumnetherlandsmission.blogspot.com.

President and I are very impressed with this group.  They are solid young people.  They will be great assets to the mission.   We love them already and are so looking forward to working more closely with them.  They will fill you in with more details in their email home to you this coming Monday.

Thank you for your missionary.

Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns.

Liefde,

Brenda Robinson
