Hello Everyone!
I wanted to say something about miracles for the subject,
but then I realized that that has been the title for the past few weeks... But
I guess that is a pretty good thing! We saw so many miracles again! Our week
was also riddled with quite a few disappointments, but they definitely are
blown away by the super cool miracles we have seen!
The first one was on the tram. We were talking to each other
about our next appointment, and the man sitting across from us had noticed our
name tags and asked us what the difference was between Islam and Christianity.
We provided a pretty good answer and he continued to ask us questions to which
we were able to testify and teach. He told us he is really searching and isn't
sure what to believe because the Koran and the Bible are both good but say so
many different things, and so does everyone else. So of course we pulled out
the big guns and shared James 1:5. "Indien echter van u in wijheid te kort
schiet, dan bidde hij God daarom, die aan allen geeft, envoudig weg en zonder
verwijt, en zij zal hem gegeven worden." Or in English, "If any of
you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and
upbraideth not, and it shall be given him." (That is one of my favorites!
All we have to do is ask!)He got some serious chills from that scripture and we
got his number from him right as he was stepping off the tram, so hopefully we
will be able to meet with him again!
The second and third ones were on Saturday. We had planned
out a pretty solid day, and were on our way to the area of our next
appointment, but I felt like we should look someone up earlier than planned. We
were a little hesitant to change the plan, but we went for it! He wasn't
there... But we ran into Chris, the man we met a few weeks ago! The crazy thing
is he is out of the country almost all of the time, and we don't actually know
where he lives, but we just happened to be run into him for the 15 minutes he
was sitting on the bench right in front of another investigator's home. Pretty
crazy...
And even better is that the other investigator we tried to
look up finally called us! We had met with him a couple times before, but we
had never got his number, so we were finally able to get back in contact with
him.
During our lesson with him he said that "you have the
best job in the world, serving God all day long."
We really do have the best job ever! I love it, and I
wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! God is good, and it is so
wonderful to have the chance to help others understand that as well.
This is Rotterdam Station. It is pretty cool!
This is the biggest Indian temple in all of Belgium or
Europe(not sure which), and it just happens to be in our backyard!
Have a great week! Enjoy the Fall, because it is the best!
Love,
Elder Thornton
