Week 51: Working Hard!

Good morning!


Groningen is doing great! It was a little rough with investigators, but we have found some new people, so that is nice. We spend a lot of time finding this week, and it was really fun, even if we didn't see a lot of solid investigators come from it. I worked really hard this week on not letting people get away with weak excuses on the door, while being extremely nice and polite, of course. If they were willing to listen, I just kept on talking to help them understand the importance of Joseph Smith and the fact that he saw God and Jesus Christ. It amazed me how many people could be confronted with a solid argument and a personal testimony and say that it is cool but that they don't think it is for them, or one of the many different ways of just saying no. These people are really really hard-hearted... But there are people who are ready and willing to listen so we are going to keep searching. We did find 3 new investigators, so we hope we can help them progress.
All of our investigators who were progressing dropped off of the map, so we hope we can find them again, but I think they are purposefully avoiding us. We were pretty bold with our purpose last week, with love of course, but I think it scared them off. That includes Sander (the deaf investigator I talked about last week), and a couple others. 

Photos!
Last P-day we went to a Pannenkoeksschip! So we ate some tasty Dutch pannenkoeken on a boat.
We also climbed Martini Toren. That was pretty cool It is super old and it was over 300 steps.

Love,
Elder Thornton
