Elder Alex Poulsen - Brazilian Missionary: January 2012
http://elderalexpoulsen.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. Full of Faith and Desire. I don't have much time today so here I go-. Last p-day I read the book (the whole thing)' Lifes Lessons Learned' by Elder Oaks while eating freshly picked grapes from the vine in our backyard. It was really good -very good book. It is a quick and good read. I recommend it. When I heard that story, I thought it was a really cool story, but it never crossed my mind that I would meet that young boy. I am really excited about where I am at this point on the...

There are a lot of people returning to the ward right now, a lot of. Less actives coming back, and so we are spending a lot of time. Teaching them all the stuff they need to know to be real members. And. We are hoping to be able to find new investigators through them. We. Are doing our best to not just knock doors all day, because it is a.

Elder Alex Poulsen - Brazilian Missionary: June 2011
http://elderalexpoulsen.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. Well here I am in Uruguaiana. It's pretty nice. There's a picture from my house up there. The weirdest part about Uruguaiana is that it is completely flat. Cruz Alta was absolutely hilly. It took me about this whole week to not get weirded out by it. We met some excellent people this week. They lived in Clovis a while ago, then moved away, anyway, they are Elder Belnap´s cousins, his first name is Greg. Have an awesome week - gotta go! Monday, June 20, 2011. Yet Another Crazy Week!
