The entrance to the our mission office.  The banner is used by missionaries to help them when contacting in the centrums. This is one banner of several used.  Don't you think it looks great?

Our dear Zuster Van Eeden has her last day in the office. She served for 2 years in the mission office as a service missionary. She fulfilled many tasks keeping the records and President organized.  Perhaps her greatest function was keeping President on key with his Dutch and inspiring us all to be our best.  With tears of gratitude we thank her for her shining light, cheerful personality, and love for the missionaries and the Savior.  Bedankt.  Wij houden van U!!!
