When did you serve?
- 2009-2011 (Courtney)
- 2002-2004 (Daniela)
What areas did you serve in?
- Brussel, Charlerois, Liege, Lille (Daniela)
What were some favorite foods?
- Vla, haring, Dutch bread and pindakaas (Courtney)
- French Fries (Daniela)
What was a funny experience?
- Watching my companion fall and get stuck on his bike under his own weight. He was standing on the pedals, not moving, but turned around and looking at me. He then lost his balance and fell over into some bushes just off the sidewalk. Because he was still half on the bike, his one weight was holding it on his other leg, and the bushes prevented him from rolling over and getting out. Once I stopped laughing, I was able to go pull the bike off him. (Courtney)
What was a crazy experience?
- Riding bikes back to the apartment late at night while lightning is crashing down all around, and the sky never goes completely dark because of all the lightning bolts. (Courtney)
What was a spiritual experience?
- Testimony and tears. We made it a goal to bear our testimony while doing an hour of finding, and a sweet man that we talked to fell into tears as we testified of the Book of Mormon. I’m not sure what ever came of him, but I know he felt the spirit that day. (Courtney)
- To see people to change there lives between a few weeks. (Daniela)
What are some interesting facts about the Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission?
- The temple is in “Sweet Lake City”, and most of the country is below sea level. It is the most bike friendly country in the world. (Courtney)
- We had two different languages- French and Flemish. (Daniela)
What was the weather like?
- It rains a lot, and it’s pretty humid. (Courtney)
- In the winter raining a lot, summer hot. (Daniela)
Any things you really like about the area/people?
- The people are so generous. Dutchies are very blunt, but there was a time or two when we were invited in to eat while we were out tracting. Two total American strangers, just invited in to join a family at the dinner table. (Courtney)
- They are open and friendly. (Daniela)
Any packing/clothing advice?
- You should be prepared for just about anything. Hot days are super hot and muggy; and cold winter days, it sometimes doesn’t matter how many layers you have on, the cold blows right through them. (Courtney)
- Raincoat (Daniela)
What blessings did you receive from serving a mission?
- Learning Dutch was a blessing, but I also gained a testimony of the restored gospel while serving in the low lands. (Courtney)
- That my testimony grew up. That I know that God lives! (Daniela)
What are some skills you gained?
- People skills. I was very shy before my mission. The Dutch broke me of that…mostly. (Courtney)
- Knowing the Book of Mormon better. (Daniela)
What do you wish you knew/did at the beginning of your mission?
- Enjoy every second of it. I never thought I would think about that blessed land every day, but I can say that a day hasn’t gone by in the 5 years since I’ve been home that I haven’t thought of an experience that I had on my mission. (Courtney)
- How much stress it could be. (Daniela)
Any advice/testimony for pre-missionaries going to Belgium Brussels/Netherlands?
- Be ready for rejection. There are loads of seeds to plant! I’m not saying that you won’t have any success. You will. A lot of people that I met were prepared by the Lord and travelled from other countries to find the gospel in the Netherlands. A lot of native Dutch people are too stubborn to want to hear our message. Don’t give up though! There are those that are ready to hear your words! (Courtney)
- Never give up. (Daniela)
What was a funny language mistake?
- Well, in rehearsing James 1:5 to an inactive member, the literal translation of “lacking wisdom” is “shooting short of wisdom”, said “in wijsheid te kort schiet.” My companion, instead of saying “schiet” said “schijt,” which is a swear word associated with dung. The member laughed and laughed, and I had to tell my companion what he said. Schiet rhymes with eat, and schijt rhymes with kite. (Courtney)
