Goede Dag!
I know I told you we were going to change P-Day to Monday, but we realized that we have too many investigators who are only available on Monday, because it is their day off. We visit Beverwijk every Monday, and all of the investigators there, naturally, are available on Monday. So I will still be writing on Saturdays... Sorry...
Anyways... Beverwijk! The Golden City! We have 3 investigators in the same building, and another a little further. And that is only in Beverwijk. We have 6 total progressing investigators right now, and a couple other new investigators. I am pretty excited!
I will share two more super awesome things. We found a Polish man, and he doesn't speak very much English or Dutch, but we were able to communicate just enough to give him a Polish Book of Mormon. We checked back up on him a week later, and he has already read to Alma 25! And he says he loves it! We really need to speak Polish...
Also, Joelle, our #1 investigator, promised to follow the Word of Wisdom! I promised with her that if she wouldn't drink wine at social gatherings for 3 weeks, I would not eat candy for 3 weeks. You have no idea how hard that is going to be. I have a couple pounds of candy from the MTC, and more from a birthday present from the Mission President. But if Joelle can completely change her lifestyle for the gospel, I can refrain from candy.
I forgot the camera chord... again... Sorry! I have some really amazing photos, so next week. I also am going to post segments of my journal, because I write about the same things I want to write in my journal.
Tot ziens!
Love,
Ouderling Thornton
(We don't get to use that title, because it means elder, as in old person, not elder, but a guy can wish) :)
Here's some more from my personal letter. I asked him what his typical PDay looks like:
P-Days in IJmuiden are super busy. We follow the normal 3 hour study schedule in the morning (personal, companion, and language), and we go grocery shopping. We then go do emails at the church. It takes us nearly an hour to get to the church on the busses, so we end up having nearly no free time. Normally after emails we head straight to our dinner appointment. Today we got to play soccer with our zone as a special activity, but that means we had almost no time to do proselyting.
