Week 72: Here we go again!

Hallo mensen!

I hope that your Thanksgiving was awesome. Elder DuWors and I kinda forgot about it, so we ate spaghetti. Oops.

We had a really good week! Lots of exciting stuff. Calithos is still progressing well, and we are hoping to put him on baptismal date later today. 

Joris just came back from his vacation in America! He came to church and brought us some coveted microwave popcorn, something they do not have here. He is still doing really well, and we are also planning on setting a goal for baptism with him tonight. 

Transfers are this Wednesday! And I will be headed to Roosendal, right at the bottom of the Netherlands. My new companion is Elder Jean Freau (I hope I spelled it right) and we will be co-district leaders. I have been a single district leader for nearly 8 months, so hopefully it means that I will get a little more free time at the end of the day. I am going to miss Antwerpen, but I am excited to go back to Nederland and get to know a new city!

I had a pretty life changing experience this week. Even though I won't share a lot of details as it is personal, it has really made me appreciate the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He suffered all of the pains of everyone, so that he can understand us all even better than we can understand ourselves. I pray for at least a little bit of that understanding so that I can better my relationships with my companions and others.
Pretty cool tank that we always bike past. I thought I would take my last chance before I head over to Roosendaal to take a photo with it.

The bike shed! 

I love you all! Have a great week!
Love,

Elder Thornton
