The Joy of Missionary Work

This Saturday will be Carly's baptism! She passed her interview after Stake Conference yesterday, and a few hours later she finished reading The Book of Mormon. Don't worry, she intends on continuing to read it, over and over.

I've see the joy of sharing the Gospel this week not just here, but I have also had the opportunity to give phone calls to some of the people who I taught in past areas. Last Monday I got to talk to Julie in Rugby and she told me about her calling helping plan Relief Society activities, how she loves getting her Ensign every month, etc. It was great. On Saturday I gave Alex Watkins a call for his 14th birthday! He is doing great as well. Last week he went with the youth in the ward to do baptisms for the dead in the Preston Temple (he told me that he felt the Holy Ghost when he was there), and this coming week he will be ordained a Teacher.

I am so happy for the difference that I have been able to make in people's lives. The gospel has continued to change me, as well, and I am so grateful for the Doctrine of Jesus Christ which not only allows us but helps us to be forgiven and change.

I love you all so much and miss you too. I hope you have an incredible week.

Love,


Elder Seth Poulsen
