Week 49: Just Having Fun!

Dear Family and Friends!

Groningen! Enough said! I love it here! The family who the Sisters were teaching got baptized this week, and it was super beautiful. The ward had just gotten back from a long and tiring Temple trip, but they all showed up anyway. The family, Jolanda, Celine, and Fabio were glowing, and after they got confirmed all they talked about was how amazing it felt when they received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We found a new investigator this week. His name is Sander, and he is deaf! We communicate by writing things down, and with the small amount of sign language that he knows. Apparently he has met with the Elders before, and has even been to church before. And he came this week! Koen, a member in the ward, helped us by typing everything that was said during sacrament meeting so that he could follow along. Sander loved church, and we are planning to set him on baptismal date this next week. 
As for the rest of our investigators, we are still trying to get them solidly investigating.

We took a quick trip to Brazil this week! (not really, this is just right behind our house, but it looks super cool!)

One of the squares in the Centrum of Groningen

Canals are super cool! And they are all over the city!
We went to a member's "man-cave" last P day. He had a race track, virtual golf, and pretty much all table games ever invented.

 
Burgers for Father's Day! The Richardsons are the best!

It has been an incredible week! I hope you guys have a great week too! It is always amazing to see how the Gospel
​affects
 people's lives, so don't forget what you already have!

Love,

Elder Thornton
