We have been seeing a bunch of success here in Apeldoorn! We are working hard, and have knocked a ton of doors this week. Thankfully we got let in a bunch, and found several new investigators. One of them was pretty cool! We have been showing the easter message from last year on our Phone on the door, and there was a Jewish woman who was super touched by it, and we have an appointment with her this Wednesday because she "felt something." The prophecies in the Book of Mormon are coming true!
Church also went pretty well with both Remco, the friend of a couple members, and Ammar, our 18 year old Muslim investigator there.
I don't have a ton of time today, but I just want you to know that the Church is true! I am so very grateful for it, and also for the opportunity I have to share it everyday! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Thornton
(From part of his letter to me in response to me complimenting his positive attitude in such a hard mission)
And I wouldn't say our mission is so hard. It is just an incredible experience! and thankfully we get to see a plenty of success even with the incredible amount of atheists and not open people here. I would definitely go so far as to say that it is the best mission.
I can't believe Derek is 6 feet tall! Bother... I'm pretty sure I haven't grown at all...
The beautiful thing is that the gospel is pretty logical if looked at in the right way. And even more beautiful is that it rests on one thing. Is the Book of Mormon true?
People can attack Joseph Smith or Brigham Young or Polygamy or whatever, but no one has or ever will be able to explain the Book of Mormon away. Because it is true. The more I read it the more I am convinced of it's divine origin, and I can never get enough.
