Hey Thorne Fam!
This week has been a little bit of a rough week. Sister
Minson got really sick for the majority of it so we had to spend some time
inside which just puts me in a really bad mood. So it was rough to get through,
but we are done now so hopefully this coming week will be better and we will be
able to work harder, have more fun and be extra good. :)
Our most progressing investigators right now are Misty,
Judy, Claire and Debbie. Misty is still doing well. She's been slowly healing
over the passing of her father and opening up to us more and more. Judy said
that she would be open to coming to church with us once! So that should be
good. We are going to try and get her to come next week. Claire is new. We are
meeting with her for the first time tonight. I'll let you know how that goes.
Debbie is very very slowly progressing, but she did read in her bible this week
so that's good! Andrew and Jennifer are coming along. Jennifer is progressing
much faster than Andrew. She has downloaded the Gospel Library app on her iPad
and has started reading the BofM! So that is awesome too!
Other than that, we are just in a huge state of finding
right now. I feel like we've been trying really hard to find those who are
prepared, but we just haven't seen much luck at all. But I won't give up. That
I can promise you. I'm no quitter.
As for your email:
1) I can totally understand about Marsh. No worries. I don't
want to stress everyone out. If it will be too difficult to do it that weekend,
we can do it some other time or next year. Whatever works best for you all's
schedule. I am excited that my first Sunday back will be the re-dedication
though! That will be awesome!
2) Well, for the 4th of July, we began the day with District
Meeting. All the missionaries wore red, white and blue and we had a GREAT
training on Charity by Elder Benham. Then, we went out to lunch with the
Willis's. They are moving to India this week so it was nice to get to say
good-bye to them. Finally, we ended by going to the Ward Party at the
Blackwell's! (Pics to follow) Basically the rules were to proselyte until 6pm.
Then from 6 to the end of the night, be with members, but you don't have to be
out proselyting. AND we didn't have a curfew! So we got to stay out and watch
fireworks! It was SO much fun! Sister Minson got a big group of us in a circle
and we played volleyball until late into the evening. I got sore! But it was
still fun! So that was our 4th of July. :) Looks like yall's was fun too!
3) Brit: good luck!!!!!! You will be an amazing missionary.
Did you ever get my letter with my 15 things to do? Is there anything else I
can help with before next week?
4) I've started on the gospels! I've got it worked out so
that I will be done by the time I get home. I finished Matt 13 yesterday.
Loving them! And I'm learning SO much!
Love you all very most!
Love always,
Sister Thorne
