I joined a gang

Ok so first of all you should send me a picture of snow sometime haha:)

Oh and I think I joined a gang? A guy named SamBo introduced us to his whole gang! He likes us I think... haha and he offered us quite a large amount of weed.. haha. We said no but it was an interesting night!

Any ways other than joinging a gang. The week was a bit slow.. My companion Elder Schroeder decided to get Dengue fever. So we were inside a lot. I got to read a lot of stuff tho! So that was good. But as for lessons we only got a few. 
As for Sunday. It was good . Our senior couple elder and sister Gartz are leaving.. and the people LOVED them, so there was a huge party and there were so many people there! We had 90 people at Church instead of our usual 50-60,
so church was great. Elder Gartz was the acting branch president but now he is gone the branch needed to be re organized. So President Mehr came! Super cool! He is honestly the smartest and the best gospel teacher I have ever met.
The testimonies this Sunday were all from the Gartz' and the new presidency so the De bovilles, the Marquis, and the Felix'. So there wasn't time for any other testimonies. Oh other than the Gublers, the new senior couple.
But we got to go meet with Granny with President Mehr and everything he teaches and shares just blows my mine! Definitely a fan of listening to him!
Church this Sunday was a lot of fun! 

So not much to report other than being part of a baptism! :) 

Yeah I went in the ocean. Some of the other elders had a baptism and they asked me to be the other witness so it was cool! Not my companionships baptism but I still got to be a part of it! :) 

So this week has been slow but a good experience! Good learning! 
One of my favourite investigators hasn't come to church :( She gets sick every Saturday and Sunday so far. Not like a fake doesn't want to come to church but like legit dengue and other stuff.. so next week !

Gotta pick out our Christmas banana tree! And I also miss those singing things but the people here love Christmas music so we have heard it for the last 2 months. Lots of fun, and its all rap and redone music so its interesting.

Yes American thanks giving was great! We had a chance to celebrate it. President Mehr paid for every area in the mission to have Thanksgiving dinner! So we had 2 turkeys and so much food and a good time!

Oh and I will try not to cut my fingers off but no promises! His Companion has a machete...and there is a lot of fruit over there....Jeff has become a fruit ninja. 

Ah well love you !!
I'll keep being a good missionary :)
Love Elder Pierson
