Julie's Baptism

I unexpectedly had a notice on my screen come on that this computer is about to shut off real soon, so I have not time to write anything. The baptism of Julie went well this week, enjoy the pics. I can explain them more later. 

The other pic is us with a mini-missionary who was with us for a few days, the other one is a reunion of our MTC district, almost a year later.

*Elder Poulsen's answers to these questions:

Boone: Hey Seth. I am sad to have you not here but it makes me happier when I read your letters. So here is my question: Have you ever cried of joy or of sadness?

Elder Poulsen: Boone, I feel the same way. I am sad to not be with you, but I am always so glad to hear from you whether it be a letter, an email, a picture, or anything. I have cried many times in my life, both of joy an sadness. I think both have happened on my mission as well, as we have many sad and many happy things happen. For example, it is sad that there are so many people that don't want to listen to us teach them about the gospel, but then we also have amazing things happen like J, our friend who was able to overcome her addiction to alcohol and on Saturday she was baptized! 

David: Can it be fun at sometimes while being a missionary?

Elder Poulsen: David, being a missionary is fun all the time. Being a missionary is like going out and making great new friends, and then you can baptize them so you can be friends with them in the celestial kingdom forever. Its so awesome!  We definitely had tons of fun with Alex Watkins, who we taught when I was in Wales. We would play sports with him on p-day and stuff. And even on days where no one really wants to listen to you, you still always have your companion to laugh and joke around with. Its awesome! You also get to do fun stuff like ride your bikes down big hills, ride on trains and on double decker buses, and more. Its different depending on where you go on your mission, but that's some of the fun stuff we get to do here. Today after I'm done emailing, we're going to go play football (soccer) and table tennis with some other missionaries. Its going to be a blast!
