October 24--Birthday week


Hi Fam!
Thank you for the emails and videos and presents later!!!! Wow you are all the best. Really appreciate it :). So does my companion! 

Oh I wish you could meet sister Matthews! She is fantastic! You would all love her. She is from South Africa but actually nannied for someone on 6200 south and 2200 east last year. Small world. She is a lot of fun and helps a ton with the area. Plus we get to reminisce about colchester because she was my stl for 2 transfers there. She is likewise 20 yrs old. 

I'm sure I say this every week, but I can't think of a lot to stay. There is a lot to be aware of and so I don't think I have much space left in my head. Sorry about that. 

B passed his baptismal interview! He was interviewed in Hyde Park so
we saw him later that evening. He was wearing this snazzy new suit and
was pretty chuffed about being baptised. After the lesson, he got his
speakers and played some puff daddy song and strutted down the street
like he was a Spice Girl with the biggest hop in his step. It was
hilarious!

So background on B (I think I sent this an email ago) he has been taught by sister Swann and sister Phillips for a transfer and then transfers came and suddenly he didn't want to be baptized when I came and then he did and just all of these things where he just couldn't drop us and we couldn't drop him. He also suffers from a lot of health problems. But now hopefully (if we can get in contact with him because now he is not answering his phone) he will be baptized this Sunday! 

We got on the bus to go home (it was a Saturday night) and we sat down
near this innocent looking Indian man. Wow, that was the best decision
we made all day! He was drunk out of his mind and was talking nonstop
to us. It took me a while to figure out he actually wasn't speaking in
English, but Punjabi. He kept standing up and then when the bus slowed
down or sped up he would sway and either fall into Sister Matthew's
lap or fell back into his own seat. THEN he pulled out his wallet,
whipped out two £50 notes and tried to give it to us!  Unfortunately we declined the £100. Sister Matthew still regrets that. Luckily when we
got off the bus at our stop he stayed on, so we didn't have to worry
about him following us home. Oh, what a night!

Good to know crazy things still happen in Ilford. 

Another side note of good things, I found fur lined leggings for £5! Yes! I think I might start wearing them now. How cold is Utah getting? It is freezing here. 

And a good scripture story is Daniel 3. The "but if not" statement? It's a good one. Look it up for sure. 

We will talk again next week! It's a bit of a crazy one this week. Exchange, MLC, zone train meeting, 20 eh so old, and hopefully a baptism fingers crossed prayers said!!!

PLEASE PRAY FOR B!! 

Thanks love you!!
Sister Soulier

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...
