This week in the WIM(west indies mission) has been pretty alright by my standards. Its so weird being a trainer, sometimes I just feel like we get barely anything accomplished, Mainly because where most missionaries start their day is at 10 Am, we start our proselyting day at 1Pm. (He hasn't said why, but his companion is learning english so it could be for language study) But it is still one of the best things I have ever done.
This week was good as far as getting some good lessons in. We actually have been able to start teaching some past investigators again who seem pretty good. It was a blessing to have so many members who are excited about the work and who can show us to people who are ready! Member work really is the only way to go.
But as for things taught, while we were trying to teach "ST", (trying because she was cleaning and wouldnt stop :( ) Anyways we taught her children and it was really cool, because one of her Children named "CT" has met with missionaries before, and you know how missionaries work, They invited her to pray to find out if its true, and she did. But she said "she didnt get an answer till now" so she says while we were teaching she felt it was true! So that was cool.
As for "B", He is ummmm im not sure. he had like a million questions for us when we went over again, most of them were really easy to answer, but some you could tell he had been given anti material. and then i found out where he was given that. While teaching his mom came out and started interrogating/yelling at us about Joseph Smith and How we hate black people and yeah so that was weird. But she left eventually when i offered to tell her the truth, but It didnt seem to phase "B", so hopefully he is still open to the truth.
We had a pretty cool service activity this week, We actually got to help Build a house. The second councillor in the branch presidency is adding on to his house and had a whole tonne of cement blocks that needed to be moved 40 yards down a hill to his house. So we did just that. Each block weighs probably like 30-40 pounds and i started carrying like 2 at a time. Eventually we formed a chain so we didn't have to carry them as far but it was good tough work. My hands have gotten soft since ive been on my mission haha I got a blister. Anyways it was fun. We have been helping him quite a bit and it is cool to see the progression he makes. But he reminds me a lot of dad. He told me he has all the plans for the house in his head he just needs to get them out while building. Its fun tho!
Anyways i love you!
have a fantastic week!
Love Elder Pierson
