Things are going great here in Amsterdam! The Spanish/Portugese community is exploding, so I have no idea when Elder Bartolini is going to be able to escape Amsterdam, because we seriously need him here. Our two Spanish investigators are still progressing to their baptism in January (according to Elder Bartolini, because I speak almost no Spanish :) ), and they love church! Said, our 11 year old investigator is doing well, and his Ecuadorian parents are super awesome too! They are super excited for him to get baptized, and when we totally fail at explaining something, they make it make a ton of sense for him. We even picked up yet another Spanish investigator this week, so I am probably going to be speaking fluent Spanish by the end of this transfer :).
Christmas is next week, and if everyone keeps their promises, we are going to have a ton of new investigators at the Church next week! Every we have been trying to contact for the past several weeks has finally decided they want to do something, so that is pretty exciting.
Elder Bartolini really enjoyed part of my Christmas package :)
Just admiring the Amsterdam landscape... We had to walk down a super long street to find someone, and it was easily the prettiest street that I have ever seen. I took this early on, and I kinda wish I had waited for some of the even better views!
Jamali! He is 8, and he and his mom got baptized a few months ago, so we get to reteach them the lessons every week. We get super delicious Surinamse food!
Vrolijke Kerstfeest!
Love,
Elder Thornton
