Last night in Holland...

It is, D.V., our last night in Holland as I am writing this. We found out earlier today that our original flight from Amsterdam to Heathrow was cancelled. We managed to get a hold of our travel agent in Canada and she booked us on an earlier flight. Hopefully this flight isn't cancelled as well. The only fun is that it leaves a lot earlier, which means we have to leave for the airport by 6:00 am and we will have another 6 hour layover in Heathrow. And... we are not allowed to take much on the plane. Certainly no form of entertainment for the kids... This will make getting on and off the plane and changing planes a lot easier as we won't have much to carry, but we are having fun trying to fit all our carryon stuff into our totes. So we aren't bringing any pillows with us anymore....
Last Friday we took Hugo's parents out for a nice dinner at Wok and Grill Mr. Hu. Nice name huh? It's a neat place. You can pick out all the raw meat and veggies that you want and you give it to a cook and he stir fries it for you and you can pick from about 10 different sauces. Delicious! Lots of sea food to pick from and for the grill there was steak and lamb and pork and chicken....
Saturday we had another open house for whoever wanted to see us yet. Quite a lot of people came. It was nice to visit with them. Today we heard Rev. DeJager preach. He used to be pastor in Neerlandia.
So the Lord willing, the next post I will make will be from Indonesia. Please pray with us that we will have a good and a safe trip. (it's about 18 hours of flying plus any layover time....)
