Greenhill Close

So...we have spent a lot of time out and about and we still have almost no one to teach (apart from a few less actives). So that's a bit frustrating. Its not really that fun. But we'll keep going. Today we might go see an art gallery here in Wolverhampton that I heard about from Martin, our investigator in Rugby who let us paint with him at his house. That will be fun.

Our one ray of light, the one person who we have been working with who is actually progressing in the gospel is a returning member named Kris. He wants to come back to church, but he struggles socially. He was just baptised about 6 years ago. We had a really amazing experience with him the first Saturday evening I was here. We wanted to help him see how God could help him overcome his challenges, so we read Ether 12:27 with him. He then looked up and said something like, "I guess I just need come to church and have faith that God will help me overcome my weaknesses." We were just sitting there thinking, "yup, that's it. You got it." And he was at church with us the next morning. We had a few more really awesome lessons with him this week, he has a powerfully testimony of the truthfulness of the restored gospel and the reality of the plan of salvation. We are trying to bring as many members with us to see him so that he will be able to know more people and feel more comfortable when he comes to church. Hopefully this week when he comes to church he will speak with the bishop about preparing to receive the Aaronic priesthood.

That's about it for this week. We have been stopping by a lot of less actives and former investigators, so hopefully we'll get to build up our teaching pool more doing that, and find some people who are really ready to progress toward baptism and activity in the church. It will be awesome. I hope you all have an amazing week!

Love,

Elder Seth Poulsen

This is in our area here in Wolverhampton.  We were cycling past, so we had to stop and take a picture. 

*Mother's note - My maternal grandfather, Jack Greenhill, was born in England.  We still have family living within Seth's mission boundaries and we hope that he will have a chance to teach some of them.
