Week 48! Crazyness!

Gooien Morgen!

I hope it is going well with everyone! This week has been great, and we have seen a bunch of miracles and met a ton of super nice people. We set up a lot of appointments for this week, so I am pretty excited. 

This week was really full. Elder Etchells had to go to Brussels for his Visa, so I went to Dordrecht since Elder Jensen's companion had to go too. We did some service at a food bank, and studies, and we found 3 potentials in the 45 minutes we had to go contact people, so that was pretty cool!

I got the opportunity yesterday to interview 2 candidates for baptism. One of them was Fabio. Fabio is 11, but I can't believe that! He is so smart, and he understands the gospel better than most members! If I gambled, I would put money on him to be one of the next apostles. The other one was Celina. She is 22, and also is so ready. They will both be baptized next Sunday with their mother Jolanda. They are going to be really really good members. I feel super lucky to be a part of their baptism.

We had a funny but pretty cool experience yesterday! We were knocking some doors when a
​guy ​
hopped off of his bike and approached us. I did not understand a thing he said, and then I realized he was deaf. He managed to communicate that he had already received some pamphlets and he wrote on a paper his contact information and we set up an appointment. So that should be really cool! Elder Etchells knows a little bit of Sign language, and I can do the alphabet, so hopefully we can make it work. 

I forgot my converter, so no photos this week :/. I love you guys! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Thornton
