That's What I Do

Missionary work. That's what I do. It never hurts to take a chance to get on TV though haha. There was a Cafe that opened up in Dunchurch, a village just south of Rugby, on Saturday. We had to go down there anyway to try to find someone. So we went to have lunch at the cafe and BBC was there filming for this show to help start up restaurants. So on January 29th at 8:00 on BBC 2 we'll probably be on the show "The Restaurateur." Good luck figuring out how to find the show and watch it. If nothing else, it will show up on iTunes eventually I would assume. I'm just imagining members of the church here watching the showing and getting really excited when they see missionaries. 

The work has been so good this week. We have seen some awesome miracles in the work. When I was on exchange out of my area, my companion and the other elder that was with him had an appointment that was cancelled so they decided to go through and call a bunch of the people that were saved in the phone by previous missionaries, and they set up 4 appointments! That was pretty awesome. They taught one lady the next day, a filipino lady named Gina who was really excited about everything they shared, and even suggested that they could skype her family in the phillipines so they could be taught too. Fortunately, that won't be necessary. There are plenty of missionaries there too!

Being with Elder Eldredge is way awesome. We have become more and more unified in our teaching. We can really feel the Holy Spirit in the room, testifying of truth, when we share with people the message of The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Another miracle this week was a lady named Jan. She was brought to church by a foster family she was with as a teenager. She rebelled, however, because she preferred the Catholic church, which was what she was used to. Four years ago she was going through a rough time and the Elders knocked on her door. They began to teach her and she came back to church, but she ultimately never was baptised and stopped going to church. Recently she has been having a rough time again, but with great faith she made the decision to try quitting smoking again, and Wednesday was her first day off the cigarettes. She was having a rough time, and prayed to God that he would send help. On Wednesday night we had an appointment nearby, but the man we were supposed to see wasn't in. So we started to knock around the doors in the area. And we knocked into Jan. What a miracle! We were able to teach her Friday evening, and we will go back around to see her again tonight. I have faith that she will progress in the gospel. 

Julie was at church again this week, her desire is great. We are not sure when she will be prepared for baptism, but the current goal is the 1st of February. 

Keep on doing the work of the Lord, the blessing and miracles are great. 

Love, 

Elder Seth Poulsen
