November 14

Good evening :)

Crazy crazy week as always.  Not sure where to start and where to end.

Unfortunately Mark's baptism had to be postponed.  He is still coming to church and loves learning and wants to get baptized.  A concern came up and his baptism needed to be postponed.  We also passed him to the elders to continue to get ready for his baptism.  I'll keep you posted.  

Eline is doing so fantastically well.  She accepted the word of wisdom no problem and continues to prepare for baptism on December 11th!  She is very prepared.

Our other prepared favorite investigator, Jane Susan.  Pretty sure I already told you all about her.  Hopefully.  Her sister and niece recently got baptized in Gorelston (by Norwich) and told Jane about how they love the church, so now Jane wants to learn.  She was a referral from the Stratford ward.  She is so prepared it is so great teaching her.  Appointments last precisely 45 minutes and you don't have to pull any teeth to get her baptized!  She came to church with her 7 year old son Nathan last Sunday.  A member from Ilford took her.  I think she really enjoyed it.  She is likewise preparing for December 11th as baptism.  We went to her house this week and she was babysitting a little 5 year old girl.  Her name is Michelle.  At the beginning of our lesson, we asked Michelle to say the prayer--which she agreed to.  She stood in front of us, crossed her little arms and bowed her head, tightly closing her eyes.  We waited for her to start.  And then waited some more.  I didn't know what to do.  My companion didn't know what to do.  In my head I figured it was fine because Heavenly Father will count her prayer.  Eventually Michelle looked up again and Jane asked her if she was going to start praying.  Michelle replied, "I did!  In my head!"  "Well, what did you pray for?"  "I prayed for toys!" "That's good Michelle.  Did you pray for us?"  "No.  I only prayed for toys.  That's the only thing I need."  Yes that prayer does count just fine.  She is adorable.

Yeah Jane Susan is great!  She is from Kenya and has lived here for the past 20 years.  She believes in God and went to church and prayed and did all of those things, but felt like something was missing in her life.  Although she did those things, she didn't feel close to God.  We are so excited for her to learn more about the Book of Mormon. 

Jane Susan and Eline both read the Book of Mormon and the Spirit is just so strong in both of their homes.  Oh I love them dearly.


Let's see other people I love.  Sister Matthews!  She is fantastic and I pray every day that we can stay together.  I am just hanging out with my best friend every day. She is so much fun.


I think that is everything I can think of right now.  I'll attach pictures.
 LOVE YOU!
Sister Soulier

July and warming up

July 19 HELLO!!!! Good to hear from all of you!  I know I say this every time. But time is going so fast. Next week will be transfers. I do not want to lose my companion. We need to stay together. You can pray for that. Just kidding. We will se what next week brings! P day will be on Tuesday again so emails will be late. This week was a good week!! I'm trying to remember everything that happened. It's all such a blur. Oh Nish!!! Our lovely investigator from India. She wow. She is all over the place. Every day (no every hour) Sister Guimaraes and I go back and forth of whether she I'll make her date for July 30th or not. We just don't know what to think. She has refused to give up coffee at all in the past. This week we committed her to no coffee and she did it! In fact in our lesson on Saturday she said she could give up coffee forever!! (Except for this coffee dessert but we will work it out). What a drastic change this was. All because she is praying and reading ev...
