Hey everyone! These last couple weeks have been SO GOOD!
So Updates:
- Jerry might be moving his date of baptism up to the 28th of August! So that is super happy! We will see what happens. He just keeps telling us how much happier his life is with God in it and I love it so much. He literally is so cool and I love feeling the spirit as we testify to him! We finished all the lessons with him so really all the rest is up to him and I know that he is so ready! So that is super exciting!
- We met this lady named Romina! I knew about Romina for a couple of months and that she wanted to come to church. She came a couple of times, but we hadn’t started teaching her because the member who told me about her wanted to build a relationship with her first. Well, this last week we finally got her number and we just decided to text her right away about meeting. She then texted back and invited us to come to dinner THAT NIGHT! So, we dropped everything and went over to her house. Her husband Suliasi was there, who evidently is already a member, but he doesn’t remember much about church. Their cute 6 year old daughter Leo was also there! They fed us bomb ribs and then we had the best discussion. Then boom! Romina tells us she wants to be baptized, and Suliasi wants to baptize her. This whole thing was so spiritual! From the time we walked into their home until the moment we stepped out I felt the love of Christ and the spirit SO STRONG. Long story short, Romina is now also on date for the 28th, so that is going to be a good day! Plus, it’s the Saturday before transfers, so I will definitely be here. We went over again yesterday and taught the restoration! She hasn’t even read the Book of Mormon yet, but her testimony is SO STRONG! Man I love them, and once again they made us BOMB FOOD! My stomach is growing in this ward after being here for almost 6 months, but what ya gonna do about it haha!
- We had some of our favorite members take us to a rodeo this week! We got special permission to go, and it was so much fun! The Piatau’s are the family who took us, and I have gotten so close with them! Sister Piatau just kept telling me how Tongan I’ve become, because I was going crazy at the rodeo! So much fun! Honestly, I probably should have toned it down since I’m on a mission, but none of us are perfect. right? It was a party and they even bought us cute cowboy hats! I’m gonna miss this ward when I leave aggg!
-We went on 2 exchanges this week! One with the MSTLS and I got to go with SISTER RENTERIA! I love her so much and we are so wild together! She goes home in 3 weeks which hurts my heart, but she will do amazing things in life! So, she’s been out for 18 months and has never ridden bikes. So, I got to take her for the first time and she was on cloud 9! It was so much fun haha! The next day we had exchanges with a trio of sisters in our zone! I got lucky enough to go with 2 of them! Sister Larsen and Grover! They are so funny and we had a wild time! It was so fun.
- Okay last thing I wanted to tell y’all about! A member made me the CUTEST QUILT! She isn’t even in my ward, but she was in Sister Berg’s last area and she made her one. Then when we went over she told me she liked me and was going to make me one. I told her she didn’t have to, but she did! It is literally the best thing ever! She said that if I ever lose my way that I have to remember when I see this quilt to come back! Jesus Christ really is the only way.
- Jesus Christ really is my everything Y'all! There is no way I would still be out here if this gospel wasn’t true! Its so hard, but it’s so worth it and I hope you all know that Jesus Christ loves you! Make him your everything! You wont regret it.
I love y'all so so much!
Sister Poulson
