Goedemorgen!
This week has been great, but it was super wet! Easily the
wettest week of my mission. Before Sunday it had rained every day since Elder
DuWors had gotten here. But we worked super hard, and talked to a lot of
people, and so we saw quite a few miracles.
Joris (the investigator I talked about last week) came to
church! I'm not really sure what he thought of it. He still doesn't quite get
that he needs to take studying this a little more seriously. So we will do our
best to help him out with that.
We finally got back into contact with Sarah, who was set to
baptized on the 30th of September. After asking several different members to go
on a joint teach with us, we finally found one, but we called him 10 minutes
before to confirm, and it turned out he had forgotten... So we decided to just
head in there without a joint teach and hope for the best. Her cousin opened
the door, and said that she wasn't home, so we went to leave, but I felt
prompted to share the Book of Mormon with him. And he let us in! After about 15
minutes of explaining the Restoration and the Book of Mormon, Sarah walked in!
She actually was home... but after she ranted about how all churches are saying
different things and so forth, we just reminded her of the story of Joseph
Smith, and told her to come to church. So hopefully she gets it a little more.
We're going have to get after her because she didn't actually come to
church.
But we did find a couple more people to teach this week, so
we are excited! It's gonna be great!
We also got a few referrals from a member, so we are excited
to follow up on that.
And we helped build a member's shed.
Love,
Elder Thornton
