Goede Dag!
To be perfectly honest, I completely forgot Halloween was last Monday until we were biking home. It isn't very big here, so we didn't have very many reminders.
Nothing crazy happened this week, just a lot of biking and finding in the area book. We have set a goal to get 30 hours proselyting this next week, which is 5 over the missionary standards for our mission, so hopefully that will motivate us to really work hard this week.
My Dutch is getting much better. I have had several people this week think I was from Nederland! That made me pretty happy. The language has always been something I worry about, and so I am so happy that God has been helping me.
Sorry this one is short! Hopefully I will have something incredible to share with you next week!
Tot Maandag!
Love,
Elder Thornton
From his journal this week, since the letter is so short: "There was one cool miracle that I want to remember. We were late for an appointment, and so we were biking pretty fast. It was a pretty rainy day and the leaves had finally fallen. I was taking a corner really fast when my bike just slipped out from underneath me. The wet leaves made a pretty slippery surface and my bike and I just skidded to a stop. My pants were almost rubbed through, but I was almost completely not physically harmed. I got the tiniest scrape on my arm and another one on my hip, and that was it. God really does protect his missionaries!"
