Hey mom,
It's good to know that everyone is doing well at home. Good to
hear dad is looking good. Well I got to Atlanta and was just feeling a little overwhelmed
and this lady who was a member came up to me and started talking to me and
walked with me for a while and talked to me as well. After she left to go
to her gate I saw a big group of missionaries and that was comforting. Well
I only have like 3 minutes left so ill respond to your email on Wednesday but
it was great to hear from you and I can't wait to answer your questions on Wednesday
and hopefully I can send some pictures. After we go to the temple on Wednesday I'll have more time to email and be able to write more so don't worry I'll answer
your questions and if you have any more questions I'll answer them.
Love Elder Thornhill
Hey dad,
It's good it gets really repetitive and we just eat and go to
class. Yes we have time to play basketball so that's good and its fun playing
with the Africans. My companion is actually pretty good at basketball. We also went to the temple last Wednesday and
that was great. It was really small but when we went in I felt like I was at
home. It was a great feeling and I can't wait to go again this Wednesday.
My companion is good Elder Acquah. He was baptized in 2005 and is
21. Most of the African missionaries are at least 20. It kind of weird how old some
of them are but I'm so glad they are serving. They will bless the life's of
many people. He is from Ghana and lived
in Ho. He is serving in Nigeria. One is
from Uganda and he is really nice and one is from Nigeria and he's kind of
grumpy. I guess what they say about Nigerians is true. He's kind of scary. Most
of the teachers are from Ghana and my teacher
brother botwe served with Travis Gibson.
The learning is going well and I'm getting use to how everyone
speaks here. I know I still have much to learn and I can't wait to continue to
learn. I know that if I have the spirit
with me and can do anything that the Lord wants and I know that if I teach with
the power of the spirit I will have success.
No I haven't got anything and I'm sure it takes quite a while to get
here.
Today I gave a talk about faith and I
started crying. I guess sacrament
meetings do something to me. Well sorry about Wednesday we didn't get back from
the temple till late but I'll be able to email again on Wednesday and hopefully
I'll be able to send some pictures. I'm having a great time and can't wait to
share the joy of the gospel with others. Ha thanks dad. (Dad gave Mitchell's and Erica's plaque's at church a fist bump).
