Converted by the Spirit

Our friend Carly who told us upon first opening her door that she would "tell us all the reasons she would never join our church" has quickly become one of the most incredible and full-of-the-spirit people who I have taught on my mission. She has been converted through reading The Book of Mormon. She just absolutely loves the book. The more she has read it and felt the spirit, the more she has changed. She now has the goal of being baptised on the 8th of November. We really hope we can help her to make it. Yesterday she came to church and absolutely loved it. The ward here is incredible too, we didn't have to do anything once we got her in the doors--there were members coming up and talking her, sitting with her, taking her to the different classes, it was so awesome. Yesterday after church she was trying to describe how she felt, being so full of the spirit. She said so correctly, "I don't even know to describe it. To put words to it would almost be to take away from it." I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost as it is present in my own life, and that I am able, as a missionary, to help other people to experience the great peace that comes from living the Gospel.

I hope that we all continue to do all we can to have the presence of the Holy Ghost in our lives always.

Love,


Elder Seth Poulsen
