Goedemorgen!
This week was
super great! But unfortunately it will be my last in Groningen :(. I am going
to Antwerpen on Wednesday! That is in Belgium! A completely different country!
I didn't think I would ever make it down there on my mission, but
apparently I am. And what is even cooler is that I get to train again! And
even cooler is that Elder Etchells will be training too, in Groningen. And so
are 3 of the Sisters here in Groningen. The only missionary in Groningen who
won't be training next transfer is actually at the end of her 1 1/2 years, so
literally everyone who could be training is training. That means 3 out of the 6
missionaries in Groningen will be greenies!
And on Wednesday
I will officially be a "Grandpa!" (meaning I am the
"father" of Elder Etchells because I trained him, and he will be a
"father" on Wednesday!)
Anyways, I am
pretty excited. I will be the District Leader as well, but I am most concerned
about the fact that I have no idea how anything works in België, and that we
will be re-opening an apartment. I have heard they do things really differently
there, especially with the language. So I hope I understand them, because I
assume my greenie won't for at least a couple weeks.
As for miracles
here, an old investigator called!!!!! Mike was super golden, but he
disappeared after we initially met him. We tried for a while to get into
contact with him with no luck. He called us on Thursday and told us that he has
been in the hospital for the past few weeks with heart problems, which is crazy
because he is only 19. But he really wants to meet with us, so hopefully our
appointment will go through tomorrow.
For last p-day
we went to a second hand store and bought a monopoly board, a really fun dutch
thingy that I don't know how to spell (you can see how we transported it in the
photo), and I got Stratego for an euro, so you could say it was a success. We
also got to something called the Blode fuottenpaad, where you go through a
bunch of obstacles in the mud. We got pretty dirty.
I love you guys!
Enjoy your summer!
Love,
Elder Thornton
