As You Like It

11-04-2015

This week, we had the wonderful opportunity to go to the temple and thereafter to Keukenhof. The temple visit was as great as always, unlike the flower viewing. I think it was too early in the season (and still too cold) for Keukenhof, but there were still a lot of flowers. That's probably one reason why I was not disappointed not to be able to go twice again this year. But it was fun talking to the other missionaries that were also there on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, we went to the Zoetermeer church at lunchtime, to open the church and get the pizza set up for lunch. I had a good time then too, talking with the missionaries serving in Antwerp at the moment, including a former companion. They had some interesting stories to tell, as usual.

Today, together with 7 other missionaries, 6 members and 1 non-member, I played football in Wassenaar. It was better than when it was just 5 of us, like the last time we were there. Who knows what we will do the rest of the day, probably go into the centre of town to shop or look around, dunno. 

The new office elders take over completely from the old ones, on Wednesday. Here comes the next 6 or so months with my new companions. One thing is for sure, it will be different from the past 14 months.

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players:

They have their exits and their entrances;

And one man in his time plays many parts"

- William Shakespeare, "As You Like It"
