This week was full of some good stuff!
We had a lesson with some investigators at waffle house. Love that place! It's this adorable little diner that I love a lot. But the lesson went pretty well! They want some time to think about it, but we are seeing them again at another restaurant this week, talking about the BofM, what a great lesson!
Man we did some service this week, which we love! Sister R, then the Ps. They are moving this Tuesday. But we went and helped for a while to pack things up and get things all ready. It's gonna be sad to see them go!
This month our Zone Leaders have asked that we focus a lot on the BofM, especially to respond to objections. It's been great! One investigator K has been reading faithfully, J as well. They have both noticed the stories and principles taught. And if they have questions, they are answered as they read, so cool!
We met this man named D, he had this super long white beard and mullet. Super rad :) We talked to him about the restoration and he thought that was pretty neato!
There are these amazing members in our ward! The Fs! They have both been through so much, but they are the most humble, God loving people you will ever meet! She just kept saying "Girl, He loves me and blesses us sooo much!" It really made me think how my problems aren't that big and even when I do have problems, I should be grateful for those experiences and see Gods loving hand in those times. Sister F said she would go through everything she went through again just to feel the love and peace God had given her!
Things in the work though... lots of people set up appointments and just aren't there when we go. Whether they are ignoring us or just forget, it's still frustrating. We wasted 6 miles the other day just to show up at an empty door. Tracting was ineffective as well. So there are ups and downs, but God sees all our little efforts!
Thought for the Week: Helaman 8:15 "And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might life, even unto that life which is eternal." We have been sharing the story of Peter walking on the water to go to Jesus. We ask them how they can keep their eyes on the Savior and not look at the raging waters around us. They usually say the primary answers; prayer, scripture study, church attendance. But those are exactly right. As we are consistent at those things, we can be prepared when we may falter and begin to sink. But as we cry out in mighty prayer as peter did, Christ is there. As we read our scriptures, we are lifted out of the water. And as we attend church, we can be helped by those around us and help others who may be drowning. So though for the week is go back to the basics. They are our best defense again trials and temptations of the devil.
Sorry for the sorta short letter, hopefully something crazy awesome will happen this week! We have a few lessons set up with some possibly golden investigators, so we'll see how that goes! Maybe we will get a transfer call :O How crazy that calls are this week?!? We most likely won't get a call so I can finish training my dear Sis Smith, but who knows. Only God... and President Weed.
Love y'all lots and lots, have a fantastic week! Have some fun before school is back in session!
Love, Sista Poulsen
p.s Oh and did I mention I'm hitting 6 months this week??? Yeah... how did that happen?!?!? :D
Wish Katie and Greg happy birthday for me would ya?? Thanks :)
We worked out real hard with Sister H this morning. She cranked the primary songs and we did some cool workouts with her. We are trying to eat healthier too, but buying healthy is expensive! We are doing pretty well though, a few things each week.
