Belgium

As many of you know, I will be spending three months (May 12-August 12) nannying in Dendermonde, Belgium. As I understand it, this is just outside Brussels, the capitol city.

I will be living with and working for my mom's cousin, watching her two sons and helping out with some housework and errands. Though I've never spent a significant amount of time with this family, I have met them once before, and the boys, 3rd and 5th grade I believe, seemed very friendly and well-behaved.

I'm very excited to return to Europe, however I am a bit nervous to see how this summer works out. I won't have any friends (with the exception of two other friends who will be in Europe around the same time and might come visit), and will have very few ways of actually making friends. I'm hoping to begin attending a church where the Brazles (many of you are familiar with this family) are missionaries. Hopefully this will provide me the opportunity to not only meet some new people, but to also plant a seed with the boys I will be watching who currently do not attend a church.

This blog will serve as a way to keep in touch with those of you who are interested in knowing how my summer is going. My hopes are that I will be able to be online often so that I can keep in touch with everyone that I will miss, and of course those who will miss me :)
