November 6--Halfway point

Muscle Mark is gonna get BAPTIZED! Oh he got a suit.  The members are incredible and so Christlike and gave us suits. These people are just so amazing. Mark was walking around church with his fanny pack (he doesn't use a belt so he used the fanny pack to hold up his trousers 😆) and he approached us after the service and tells us, "Everyone says I'm like the Men in Black." Sister Matthews said, "Are they telling you that or are you telling everyone that?"  He just smiles sheepishly, "I am telling them that." Hahah

So Brother Omoruyi gives us 4 suit coats and 2 trousers to give to Mark. Just unbelievable. Here we go to say thank you and his wife asks what she can make us for dinner and bring to church. These people are just amazing! And remember Jane? Yes still teaching her every now and then. Okay here are a few connections with people. Hope you can follow. Jane our investigatorish (the one who has gone to the Ilford ward for 10 years and now wants to pay her tithing but doesn't want to get baptized till she reads the Book of Mormon except she is only in 1 Nephi :( another story all together). But Jane is Sister Omoruyi's sister. So we have brother and sister Omoruyi (who have 2 sons Jeffrey(19 yrs old) and Joseph(15 yrs old)) and Jane, Sister Omoruyi's sister. Jane has 2 sons, Israel (9 yrs old), Immanuel (8 yrs old). None of the latter 3 people are baptized, but all of the former are. And they all live together. I don't think Jane is married anymore. Brother and Sister Omoruyi are the ones who gave the suits and biscuits for the baptism and give us African food weekly at church. I mean the food is a little unsure sometimes. I refuse to touch the fish heads if they still have the eyes on them. I'm not that brave. But his is the great family. My personal favorite. Well besides the recent converts. 

And I need to tell you about my new favorite person. Eline. She is wonderful. We met her on the street a week and a half ago. She is from Brazil, married, and has a 3 month old son. She is 35 yrs old. She is just wonderful!! Great, great lessons with her. Sister Calixto (we were on an exchange) extended the date of baptism Dec 11 to Eline and she said yes and the spirit was so incredibly strong you could cut through it. In another appointment I asked her what would it change in her life if she knew there was a living prophet, she replied, "well everything! That means there is someone here that is speaking directly to God. There is so much bad in the world. A prophet would be such a blessing." (Yeah it would!!!). Anyway she came to church last week and a Portuguese member invited her to a family party this weekend. Things are looking good!! Only problem is she always offers us tea and coffee when we come over. Looks like we are teaching word of wisdom next! 

Ben got confirmed too. All went well! I was able to sit next to Elder and Sister Richards during the service because they were there for pathway. Extra bonus! 

Anyway it's going to be a short one today because we had zone p day and that cut into email time. 

Oh one last thing ANA AND DINO GOT BAPTIZED!!! Wahoo!! Love those two so much. Very grateful they finally got baptized. Took a bit, but we got there. 

Thanks and love you!!! 
Sister Soulier

Ps don't laugh too much at the last photos I sent. It's a tradition all the sisters do at 9 months.

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...

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...
