Hey Friends and Family!
This week has not been too shabby. We have spent a bunch of
time helping people move and also lot of time finding. I don't know what it is
with less active members and moving, but they sure do seem to do it a
lot...
We got a new investigator! Finally! We have spent so much
time talking to people on the street and knocking door, and we finally found
someone to teach! Her name is Sarah, and has lived in Belgium for the past 17
years since she moved from Congo when she was 5. She was super open to the
Restoration, and asked where the church was before we invited her, and where
she could buy a Book of Mormon before we gave it to her. I thought that was
pretty cool. She accepted the invitation to be baptized on the 30 of
September! She didn't come to church yesterday :(, but hopefully she will
have at least a semi-decent excuse for us tomorrow during her lesson.
Our lesson with her was also on an exchange with Elder
Stopper, who is on his first transfer, and I was really impressed with his
language abilities. It was a pretty great experience for both of us.
A couple of our appointments didn't go through this week,
but hopefully we will be able to reestablish contact and get them back on track
to baptism.
Studies in the Park! (We might have locked ourselves out the
apartment, but that is an unimportant detail :) )
I love you all! Enjoy the ending of your summer!
Love,
Elder Thornton!
