Hey Thorne Fam!
GUESS WHAT?!?!?! I'm staying in Beckley with Sister
Minson!!! Which means she is going to get to kill me and I'll be here until I
die!!!! :D :D :D :D :D WOOT! I am so excited not to have to get to know another
place so quickly before I leave and to get to just solely focus on this amazing
area. With Sister Minson! We are going to rock Middletown to it's core and
have a blast doing it! :D
Haha well, in other words, the work this week was very slow
at first, out of 18 set lessons, 9 canceled on us. It was super frustrating and
I was getting a little discouraged. But then yesterday, Heavenly Father just
put together a couple miracles for us. Chris was able to come to church and the
mission fireside. He had a really great experience at each and I was able to
learn a lot of things that I needed. He always seems to help me end on a good
note. :)
So as for Chris, he is still smoking but we have a new game
plan. We want to go through and finish the lessons, really focusing on reading
the Book of Mormon and building his testimony of it and the Atonement and then
come back and attack WofW again. We'll see how that goes.
Misty we weren't able to meet with. Her family is going
through a really difficult time right now and she has just kind of secluded
herself away from everyone. She's very hurt, so we are just focusing on loving
her right now.
Judy wasn't able to meet with us, but should be good to go
to meet with us this week.
We picked Andrew and Jennifer back up and had a really good
lesson with them. Sister Minson did great with dealing with Andrew's
stubbornness and teaching in a way that allowed him to teach himself. She is
such an incredible teacher.
The only other thing to watch out for us tonight we will
have our first lesson with Jailyn and Justin (bro and sis possibly). They are
Mormon.org referrals and we contacted Jailyn and she was SUPER excited to talk
to us and get a Book of Mormon. We haven't met with them, but they seem to have
incredible potential. We think they are about 16-18 years of age because Jailyn
said she was still living with her parents. So we'll see! I'm super excited!
As for your email:
Sounds like everyone was able to have a great week! It was
so good to get to see Grandpa Ralph and Grandma Mary again! They both look so
happy. :)
How is An and Kris? I miss them so! I hope they were able to enjoy the
adventure and especially the fudge!
Britney! Stop being so crazy!!! Calm down
and enjoy these last few weeks. Take this one from me. You need to chillax.
Mandy, STOP DATING!!!! AH! I don't think I can handle that idea! It will blow
my mind. SO NOT okay. Grarg....well... I guess it's kind of okay... but only if
you write me more you little stinkpot! Love ya! ;D
Josh and Brandon, keep
going! You're awesome! Love you all so much!
I think that's it for this week! Love you all!
Love eternally,
Sister Thorne
It's kind of
hot......Yep. It officially
hit 100 degrees. It has been SUPER gross this week and it's only going to get
worse. We hear August is going to be miserable. Good thing we get to go
knocking on doors in it every day! Well, Sister Minson and I are currently have
a contest to see who can drink more water. She's winning.... but I WILL beat
her!
