Hoi jullie!
This week has been so great! AND... we received transfer calls Saturday!
I have been called to serve in the city of Groningen! I will be serving with my old district leader Elder Mostoller as a district leader. I am really excited to serve the people there and learn how to be a leader! Groningen is the most north area of the mission, and it is a student city, so that will definitely be a change for me. I am sad to be leaving Amsterdam, with our investigators and members, but Elder McDivitt will do an excellent job keeping it all going. He is going to be training in Amsterdam! I am super excited for him!
We worked really hard this week and it has paid off! We had several good lessons, with several people progressing to baptism. One of them is Patricia, a Surinamer I mentioned a few weeks ago. She just soaks in everything. Our lesson went so well with her. We went through 3 Nephi 11, which set everything up:
Christ, priesthood authority, and baptism absolutely perfect. She asked perfect questions, and she accepted the challenge to be baptized and wants to set a date after she has seen the baptism of 2 investigators of the zone leaders. I am kinda sad I won't be here to see her progress, but we are all on the same team, so as long as she keeps up her incredible curiosity and enthusiasm.
I love you guys!
We got some hats from our ward mission leader... So of course we took a sweet "thug missionary" photo :)
Last run through the graveyard! This is by far my favorite!
Photo as a district!
Love,
Elder Thornton
P.S. If you would like to send me music, you can send me the digital copy or give the cd to my parents. The easiest way to play music for me is through a USB, so the CDs end up getting left in the apartment. All Christian music is "hartelijke welkom!" (warmly welcome)
