We went on exchanges with both Vlissingen and Eindhoven, and it turned out pretty well. Elder Penman and I found a young (and quite pretty) new investigator in Vlissingen. You could tell that she really liked Elder Penman :). He is a super incredible teacher and speaks the best Dutch in the mission. I was with Elder De Castro in Eindhoven. He is from Brazil, and he is a super solid missionary. He knows how to work hard, and has a ton of faith. And his Dutch is progressing super fast.
We spent Christmas with Familie Van Den Vlis. They had a couple of their children and spouses there, as well as a Senior Couple. We spent the first little bit doing some service to help them prepare the last minute things, like hanging up light fixtures and cleaning a bit. (They have been remodeling an old farm house for a while.) This was the first meal that they have ever served in their house, and it was delicious! It was great to be able to Skype my family and spend a little time playing some games.
Love,
Elder Thornton
