This week has been pretty great! We have been working hard, and seeing a pretty good amount of success. Elder Jeanfreau and I have become pros on the door, especially with Muslims. We have a ton of people here from the Middle East, both 1st and 2nd generation. We have learned the perfect way to present the Book of Mormon to them in a way that they cannot resist, and then set up an appointment with them to talk about the necessity of a Christ. We have had multiple people try to convert us to Islam, but the funny thing is that nearly everything they bring up we already agree with... #greatapostasy #moderndayprophetsarenecessary!
It has strengthened my testimony of Christ even more, if that was possible! Jesus is so incredibly important! 2 Nephi 2 and "His Grace is Sufficient," by Brad Wilcox are super good and explain it very well. If you haven't read both of them recently I highly suggest it. I am so grateful for his sacrifice that made it possible for me to return to my Heavenly Father, and I am going to continue do my best to follow his example to show him my gratitude.
We got transfer calls! I found out that I will be heading to Apeldoorn! I will be a zone leader with Elder White with 2 other Elders in the most fancy apartment in the mission, or so I've heard. I'm excited to have some new opportunities to learn, and a new change of responsibility and scenery is always nice. I will miss Elder Jeanfreau though. We have had a super good transfer and got along really well.
I failed to take any photos this week...
I love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Thornton!
