Bring Them to the Light

Note from Lisa: These two sisters are closing an apartment that is outside of their assigned teaching area and moving into a new apartment more in the middle of where they work. This is to happen this coming week.  The move will really help to cut down on their driving time, but it will be a BIG job for them to move all their things plus the kitchen items, beds, desks, couches, etc.  They have asked their ward for help and are having to coordinate it around a father/son outing.  They are quite nervous about the fact that the new place is on the 2nd floor and there is a sharp turn at the top of the stairs. It will be an adventure to hear about next week! Pray for them!

Hey y'all!
Man, it was so fun to see you guys yesterday. That was so great! And I was a little disobedient and went over time... but I am actually less homesick than before, so blessings! It was sad for a minute, but I felt re-charged and ready to go later! And today is going to be such a fun day. We are teaching a lot of our favorite people! And then we are moving this week, and that should be super good too! Our house is just infested with ants and potato bugs. And yesterday, I opened up my "Jesus the Christ" and a moth flew out of it! It was super strange. So it will be nice to get out of here :)

But a cool miracle happened yesterday after our Skype call! Our non-progressing investigator L has been really hard to get in contact with. I've been here 2 transfers and I have only taught him twice, with both those times being in this transfer! But, out of the blue, he texted us (which he never would have done before) and said this: "Happy Mothers Day. Many thanks to your mothers for allowing you to share your faith with others. Blessings!" WOW! So L says "thanks" mom :)

Thought for the week: 2 Nephi 19:2-3
"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light;
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined.
Though hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy --
they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest,
and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil."

Many of Gods children are walking in darkness, let us bring them to the light! Our mission hymn is "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy." So, your challenge for this week is to read that hymn and think about us as members being the lower lights bringing souls unto the light house!

 I hope you had a fabulous rest of your Mothers Day! Thanks mom, for being amazing :)

Shout out to the greatest college grad ever!!!!!! Stac, you looked amazing, congrats again! Love ya :)

Here are some pics of us at Sonic on May the 4th Be With You Day and Some funky lights! (Princess Anne road is the road our church is on.)
Have a blessed week y'all,
Love y'all, Sista Poulsen
