Hoi!
This week was pretty great! I got to go the temple this
week, and that was especially amazing because it had been a whole year since I
had been. It felt wonderful! And I got to do it for an ancestor who I had
performed the baptism for in Nauvoo a few years back, so that was pretty cool.
I feel a little bad that I made him wait that long, but he probably never
expected to recieve his endowment in Nederland.
As for Antwerpen, it is going pretty good. Our investigators
have kinda disappeared... We had one initial investigator near the centrum of
Antwerpen, and since he kind of struggles keeping appointments, we ended up
doing a lot of knocking in his area. And, seeing that it is pretty much the
slums of Antwerpen, the people are pretty poor. And as we learn in Alma, also
super humble and open! But... They tend to struggle with reliability and
keeping appointments... So we are trying to figure that one out. We have 5
investigators on 1 street. That is really abnormal. But we only have contact
with 2 of them.
But they are super cool! I am excited to see how much
progress they will make.
We also got a text from Joris this week! He is currently on
vacation in Seattle, but he still attended church! He is the best! (He also
said he would bring some microwave popcorn back for me, so I may be slightly
biased) :)
The river next to Antwerpen!
The Temple in Den Haag!
Cake with Isabel! Isabel is one of the investigators of the
Lokeren Sisters, and I got the opportunity to do her interview! She is so
ready! She has completely turned her life around since she started learning
about the Gospel. She got baptized this Saturday! It was Sister Klenk's
birthday so we had some cake.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Thornton
