Goeie Dag!
Nederland continues to be awesome! The weather has gotten a little colder, but still not too bad. This week was pretty long, since so many of our previous progressing investigators either threw their Book of Mormon away, or just disappeared.
We don't have any more investigators in Beverwijk anymore, so we don't have to waste our time traveling over there instead of just baptizing everyone in IJmuiden. Micha, our last investigator over there, told us nicely that he threw away the Book of Mormon because it was giving him nightmares about false prophets. Really fun, He still wanted us to teach the Plan of Salvation, but he ended up just fighting us on every point.
We continue to focus on Joelle, who still doesn't want to set up a baptismal date because she feels like it will force her to do it when she isn't ready, which is an okay reason, but I still feel like a date would help her.
Joka believes the things we are teaching her, but she says the things we are teaching her are "te swaar" or too heavy, so she asked for a couple weeks of a break.
Jackie... Her "lovely" husband met us at the door and told us, "We believe in God and Jesus, but no prophets," gave us her Book of Mormon, and shut the door. I am pretty bugged by that, because it sure didn't seem like that was Jackie's opinion.
Elder Ocampo is cool! We are definitely not the same, but we have been getting along pretty well. Dutch is still going great!
Have a great week everyone, and I hope you will take advantage of all the missionary opportunities!
Love,
Elder Thornton
