Travels


We recently had the amazing privilege to travel for a meeting that refreshed us spiritually and physically as we encountered a completely new continent...we took two days before our meeting for vacation with dear friends. Here are lots o photos to help you see what we saw. 

A highlight for me was visiting the Corrie Ten Boom house. I read the book, "The Hiding Place" when I was young about her life. Madylanne read it too and it's one her all time favorites. Then I read the biography to the boys. Taking a tour of her home and listening to the guide share openly that forgiveness only comes through Jesus, and that Jesus is the Victor, was so very inspiring. If you are ever in Amsterdam, I strongly encourage you to visit her home.




This is the room where 6 people hid from the Nazis during WWII. 




The canals...so many canals....beautiful!





windmills and clogs



St Bavos Cathedral...this is the church where Corrie Ten Boom was a member...it was built in the 1500's...and Mozart played this organ when he was 10 years old!!


These delicious yummies are called stroop waffles. SO AMAZING.
