Lame Sick Week

So this week was pretty lame because I got pretty sick. So not too much missionary work has been getting done in the last few days, just a lot of sleeping and some watching General Conference. Our teaching pool has expanded a little bit. It now consists of: 

                a Latvian lady who will listen to us, but barely speaks English. We don't even have any supplies in Latvian, so that's difficult
                a Muslim guy who doesn't want to change (maybe Elder Myrtaj will be able to help him out, he was sort of raised Muslim)
                a really awesome Hungarian lady who has been reading The Book of Mormon in Hungarian and has a bunch of questions, but we can't answer them because she barely speaks English. Fortunately, there is a Hungarian Elder named Elder Magda serving in Coventry right now who is from Hungary and so we're probably going to get him over here this week to teach her and answer her questions. It will be awesome. 
So that's pretty cool, but obviously not the greatest. Hopefully I'll get better soon so that we can find some more amazing people to teach. We actually have an appointment scheduled for tonight with an awesome family, so hopefully I'm well enough to actually go to that and we don't have to reschedule it. Our recent converts Jan and Julie are still awesome, they both enjoyed conference and everything. 

General Conference was Awesome!!! I've only actually seen 3 of the sessions, but they were quite great and certainly helped me to answer some questions I had about how I can be better. I just love that! Its so cool when that happens. Revelation through prophets is amazing. I especially liked President Uchtdorf's talk about being grateful in our circumstances. Being grateful because of Jesus Christ, not because of stuff that we have.  Also, When I was watching one of the sessions at the Coventry chapel, a member brought a friend along and so I was able to chat with him and be his friend, so that was really awesome. He was a cool kid studying Psychology at a university there - really smart. I hope he gets baptised and serves a mission some day. That would be amazing. Anyway, I hope you all always remember that God is really awesome.

Love, 


Elder Seth Poulsen
