1. So
last p-day we went to a lake (technically a reservoir - make sure you pronounce
that the British way in your head when you read it--I think its a French word
and so the British way of pronouncing it is more correct anyway). We might go
to another, smaller one today if we have time. God's beauty is good.
2.
Boats. I love them.
3.
Nigel's baptism! This guy is way awesome. I know, I haven't said much about
him. He is dating a member of the ward here. He has awesome faith and when he is feeling the spirit, he says some amazing
things. He almost took me down into the water with him when he went down, he's
a bit bigger than the last person I baptized (who was 13 years old, if you
remember correctly). But we both made it out alive, so it was ok.
We
have a few more people here on the road to baptism as well. One is this way
awesome guy named Peter, he has been to church the last two weeks and to the
baptisms. He's got some seeing and hearing impairments due to a motorbike
accident he was in (plus more health problems as well), but his mind is so
sharp, he all ready has an amazing understanding and testimony of the
restoration. However, today he is moving to Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's
birthplace!). But it will be cool because we'll get to go over there tomorrow
to introduce him to the elders there (its part of the Warwick branch,
in the same stake as us) and we'll get to go see his baptism in a few weeks
assuming everything goes well.
We
also just started teaching an awesome couple who told us all ready that they
want to be baptized. We have just been so exceedingly blessed in the work here.
It’s awesome! God is so good.
I
have been studying a lot about the Doctrine of Christ recently--how all men
must take the steps of faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance,
baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost, and enduring to the
end to find the fullness of joy in this life and in eternity. It is so apparent
in the Book of Mormon, and its in the bible too if you seek it. Its so amazing!
I am so thankful to be a member of the Lord Jesus Christ's true church Restored
to the earth in these times and for the opportunity I have to help other people
find it and receive the fullness as well.
Love,
Elder
Poulsen
