Week 33- Nog meer wonderen!

Hola, en Gooie Morgen!

This week has been yet another week filled with miracles, and it has flown by! I am loving serving here in Amsterdam. Fun Fact: Our area is the biggest area in the mission with the whole capitol city and the outlying smaller towns. It contains 1 million people, which is a 1/16 of all of the people who live in Nederland. Sometimes it is kind of overwhelming to think that it is our job to bring the gospel to them.

But it hasn't been going too badly! We have been continuously picking up more potentials, and we are almost out of copies of the Book of Mormon. Thankfully we are getting some more this week.

We had a really surprising lesson with a couple of our investigators. We met Marco "langs de deur"(tracting or directly translated "along the door.") He let us in immediately with his crazy little dog barking at us the whole time. In the following conversation we found out he was SUPER vegetarian, and gay. But he was super interested, so we set up a return appointment. We went the the appointment thinking that we would probably end up dropping him, but he had already read a bit and wanted to read with us. As we were reading, his friend Lijon, an older Dutch woman, was interested and want to read with us. This last week we had our next lesson with them, and they had both read and loved the restoration. It was one of the smooth and spiritually guided lessons of my mission, and in the end they both accepted a baptismal invitation. We are hoping to put both of them on date tomorrow, so cross your fingers.

I don't have a lot more time to talk about all the other miracles, but long story short, there are a lot of ready people in Amsterdam!


Just rocking my hipster side... :) This was a pretty sweet mural nearby a university.

AMSTERDAM!!!!! Sometimes I wish I could just walk around with my camera, because everything is worth taking a photo of!

Same photo, just Elder Thornton is in the way this time :)
Thanks for your love and support!

Love,
Elder Thornton
