What would we ever do without the help of our senior couples??? Elder and Sister Tibbitts truly made a diifference in the living conditions of the elders in Kortrijk and Gent.
(Sister Tibbitts writes)
We had a very successful day of spring cleaning, or de-junking missionary apartments! We started in Kortrijk where we gathered up a lot of stuff the elders had cleaned out of their apartment - old bicycle parts, bags of old clothes and linens, broken fans, broken wardrobes, and many other things. This gave them a real lift. (sorry no pictures)
Next we traveled on to Gent where we got rid of two old couches, two big chairs and recliners, old appliances, and a few other things. Both Gent and Kortrijk elders were so helpful in loading and unloading the van.
Elder Alexander and Elder Calkins even surprised themselves when they were able to get everything to fit in the van! It was now packed full to the top, with junk. 
Then they came with us as we went to the recycling container park (like a dump but much fancier!). Here they literally had to throw the couches up and into these huge dumpsters - we never could have done it on our own. We then went to another station to dump wood products, another for electronics, and another for metal products. Very efficient!
What a great feeling to use those muscles and get rid of the junk!
They were in heaven as they tried out the new furniture. Wow! What a huge transformation!
We drove away, with a load lifted from the apartments and from our shoulders - it's much nicer to live in a clean apartment without a lot of clutter and old junk around!
Two happy and content missionaries! Thank you Elder and Sister Tibbitts!
Elder and Sister Everton visited Elder Ellis and Elder Kuttler in Zwolle. These elders get the award for having the cleanest oven in Holland!
Congratulations Elders!
