Hey Guys!
This week has been super great! A little interesting but
super great! We saw a bunch of miracles and found some new investigators, which
is always super great!
We have been helping a less active who originally from
California, and has a really really long story, and she has been having some
serious problems. She is getting evicted from her house this week, and so we
helped her get all of her stuff moved out on Saturday. It was really dirty...
But in addition to that we have been texting scriptures to her daily, and she
told us that one in particular really helped her! She has some friends who were
willing to pay for her to leave the country, but she got our text of Alma 7:12,
and decided that if Christ suffered then she can withstand her trials a little
longer and not illegally flee the country... So that was a miracle!
One other miracle is that one of our new investigators is
Elder Dial's aunt! She believes in almost all of the same things we do and she
seems super ready. She even wanted to get baptized a couple years ago, but her
husband didn't support her. Now she is divorced, and seems to be pretty willing
to take some steps! We are really excited!
We went to Gent last week for P-day, so lots of the photos
will be of that. It is super beautiful, and so old! One thing that was kind of
funny is that they have so many churches. The tour guide said that the reason
for that is because they believed that you either had to do good things or
build a church to be saved, so they built a church :). I don't know how true
that is, but there are a ton of huge and beautiful churches.
Boat tour with other missionaries!
Gent Castle! The only "battle" that has ever
happened there was with students in the 1950's complaining about beer prices,
but it was still pretty cool :)
The whole city is so beautiful!
Keep it real!
Love,
Elder Thornton
