Hola! Como estas? Bien!? Espero que todos esten Bien! Los
Amo a todos!
Good right?! Ha ha it would have been better if
I actually wrote it. Unfortunately I only know a few words.. one day
I will be able to speak a sentence.. maybe when I come home I can ever
bear my testimony in espanol! Maybe not though.. It has been a good week!
Hermana is livenin up the place! We have 4 baptisms coming up! It is crazy.. I
didn't know it was possible for things to go so smoothly. This week I have
really come to believe that scripture "whom the Lord calls He
qualifies" actually I'm not sure that is even a scripture ha ha however
that is how I feel. I remember when I decided to serve I had so many doubts
about if I could do the work ahead of me. However, when I put in the effort and
studied, and went to mission prep, and truly tried to prepare myself God
qualified me. I didn't know I could be who I am becoming... Then when I was
called as a trainer I at first though "yes! I got this! This will be
awesome!" Then I started thinking about the huge responsibility it was and
wondering if I really was fit for the job. I feel like since I have been
training God has given me this extra strength and knowledge. I have really
gained a testimony on just trusting the Lord. He knows what he is doing, and I
have realized that if I just do what he asks of me, he will provide a
way for his work to be accomplished.
I just have one story that I want to share! Kenny
has been meeting with us for a while. (He is the one that listens to Mormon
Tabernacle Choir all the time.) We have been praying for his family. The thing
he wants most is for his family to join him. He has such a strong testimony of
the Book of Mormon and the other day he even called us to tell us that he read
the Joseph Smith pamphlet then he said in the most humble way..
"I believe". It was so amazing, he is so spiritually sensitive. As we
read with him from the Book of Mormon all he can say is "wow" and
then a huge smile comes on his face. Anyways, we asked him to come to the
church early yesterday so we could show him the baptismal font and show him
what will happen on that day. When he walked into the church I saw another guy
with him, we went up and greeted them and found out that his son Sampson wanted
to join him at church. He was so nervous, he told us that he has never been to
church before. After showing them the font we got Sampson a Book of
Mormon, we taught him the whole restoration and I have to say that Hermana is
doing so awesome! She really has such a great testimony and she knows how to
follow the Spirit! Afterwords we invited him to pray and ask if the Book of
Mormon is true, we read with him the last paragraph on the introduction of the
Book of Mormon and promised him that if he read he really would come to know
that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World, and also.. that The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints really is the Lords Kingdom once again
established on the earth. I don't think he has ever prayed before. We taught
him how and then one of the most heartfelt prayer followed "dear Heavenly
Father, thank you for giving me this opportunity to change my life, and helping
me to come to know thee, please, please let me know that the Book of Mormon is
true" I think he was even in tears.. it was so spiritual. He is 16 btw..
which is perfect age for a future missionary ;)!
It has been a great week! We have had a lot of
meetings but we have managed to get a lot done as well! I love you lots! Keep
pushing forth the gospel at home!
Love,
Sister Poulson
