Week 6: Arrival in the Field

After a flight change and a little longer stay at the SLC Airport, Elder Fernhout flew to London and onto Amsterdam.  He arrived in the mission field on Tuesday February 7. After a couple of days at the mission home he was sent to Brugge, Belgium, with his trainer, Elder Richards.

About Brugge:
"Bruges, the capital of West Flanders in northwest Belgium, is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Its port, Zeebrugge, is an important center for fishing and European trade. In the city center’s Burg square, the 14th-century Stadhuis (City Hall) has an ornate carved ceiling. Nearby, Market square features a 13th-century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 83m tower with panoramic views." (Source: Google Maps - Quick Facts)
"Bruges is basically a small village that has been frozen in time for hundreds of years. It’s certainly one of the most charming places to visit in Europe — and that’s why people flock there. But, despite the crowds, Bruges’ canals and gorgeous medieval Flemish architecture make the city well worth the visit."(Source:thesavvybackpacker.com)
