For several months the missionaries have been preparing for the Missionary Christmas Concert Tour. Antwerp was the 2nd concert. The first one was held in Brussels. The choir is made up of missionaries from the Dutch side of our mission. We have very talented missionaries! Sister Bennett is our choir director and Sister Robbins accompanied the choir on her violin, and Elder DeMass played his bagpipes. Many people would stop and listen as he played Christmas Carols on his bagpipes! We had missionaries talking to the people passing by who stopped and listened to the choir. They invited them to come to a missionary concert in the church, and gave them a flyer with the name and address of the church. Many people seemed very interested. It was a great way to share the message of Jesus Christ at this Christmas season.
A young little boy was enamored by the choir! He was one of the best admirers of the choir, and stayed for almost the whole concert! He kept us entertained as he did a little jig to the Christmas music.
Beautiful Antwerp all aglow with Christmas lights!
Zuster Vels has no problem communicating in her native language as she shared the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with this nice gentleman.
Elder DeMass has been playing the bagpipes since he was 12. We found that not many people have not heard the bagpipes played before. They were so interested, and stopped to listen. We had a large audience gather to listen to Christmas songs played and sung by the choir.
President Brubaker enjoyed a half meter during the concert break for lunch
