Four New Baptismal Dates!

Well let me just say i have been having a most fantastic week!

So much wonderfulness has been happening! 

 

There was recently a baptism in St georges that i was able to go to! and it was nice! 

 

We  have been having a lot of fun and success! this week we set 4 more baptismal dates!  

 

One girl named "RL" is awesome! she is trying to figure out which religion is right! when we first contacted her actually her exact words when i asked her if she had ever had any questions were " why are we here, and where do we go when we die?" now she has felt the spirit while praying and when we read a chapter from the Book of Mormon. She described it as Peace! i love that! peace! the feelings of the spirit are amazing!  

she came to church with a friend we had taught once before and also her younger cousin! so it was Great!  

 

at church this Sunday we had 17 people! The bus is working Good, this Sunday there were only the usual dedicated members on the bus, but they love it! next Sunday we might overflow the building! :) 

 

Another Lady named "CN" is awesome! she has two kids and wants to make a lot of changes in her life to help out her kids! she wants to get baptized and asked us if we would be disappointed that even tho we are teaching her if she got baptized in another church. We took that opportunity to explain the priesthood very directly! letting her know we would be because it would mean she didnt understand our message. That the Priesthood is only in this church!

She took that and really pondered on it and took some sincere deep interest in finding out That Joseph Smith was a Prophet. She unfortunately didnt come to church for her child was sick with the Flu. 

 

Sunday was an interesting day for me tho! we had 2 lessons planned and both fell through, so we went finding! and we actually met a lot of awesome People! one police man who is interested  in learning more! also a lady named "GL"! we met her, while looking for a lady named "DA". Anyways we had actually contacted her mom a while (2 months ) ago and never gone to visit her cause we didnt know where she lived! but we made it there. they were sitting on their porch and i was going to go right by but both me and Elder Padilla kinda just felt we needed to talk to them! so we did! and that lesson we set her a date for december 20th. she has actually been to church 2 times down in Grand Anse but didnt know that was the church we represented and didnt know there was one in Grenville! but she is excited! she really wants to know which church is true! 

 

So we has a lot of fun!

The work is progressing! me and Elder Padilla are working hard on our obedience so we can see more miracles!

All is well in Zion over here!  

Love Elder Pierson

Enjoying the Gospel

All is indeed well in the small island of Grenada! Much fun and success is being had!

This Sunday was actually a rather good Sunday! we had quite a few new faces at church! "GA" came and brought her kids and "KA" also came! we got them with the bus and it was wonderful! we had a pretty full bus!  

 

"GA" is going to be going into Grenville today or tomorrow to check on her marriage papers! she is working pretty hard in order to get baptised! 

 

We had two Great speakers on Sunday! sister Francis Spoke and so did Elder Padilla! Both talks were very enlightening!

I love Sundays! its a little hectic when we are trying to get a lot done and its mainly missionaries trying to do it all and fellowship with the members and the investigators! but hey tough things are always the most fun!

We had some cool new people we met! we still have to go back ad teach them but we will do that just now!

I'm so excited to see what will happen in the future here. The Group is growing bigger and people are enjoying the Gospel so much!  

 

On Saturday I had a cool experience. some of the members of the Group and us cleaned the church real good! And while we were there it was just a lot of fun really really happy! One of the little girls wanted to take my camera and take photos. so I let her. and we were posing for photos and smiling and it felt as though I was with you guys! like I was with my real family! 

 

These members here are awesome! I love em! 

 

I love you too! 

 

Take care!

Love Elder Pierson 

 

A bus to pick up members

Grenada was wonderful this week!  

 

A lot of cool new interesting things have been happening since i last talked to you! 

 

highlight of the week would probably be the announcement that "GA" is getting Married!! She is one of our sweet investigators who wants to get baptised so bad but she couldn't because she was living with her boyfriend! well I guess she talked with him again and they are working on the paper work Right now!! Whooo!!! she is so excited! 

 

In another marriage announcement "KA" and her boyfriend are seriously talking about it now! we taught them both the law of chastity and they really understand how important it is to God. Before our last meeting with them we really didnt have much success with him. he seemed kind of just there. But this last time it seems like this time he was interested! we were talking with him about the piece of land he is clearing to plant up above his  house and he seemed to be real excited. He told us he is going to get us some lettuce and some lemon grass so we can make lemon grass tea (best stuff ever)  

 

He is still working on his  bus so that they can come to church real often. He told us that they would come a lot more regular once the bus was finished.

About a bus that is also a success of the week. This week we had a bus go around and pick up the members and investigators who live far!. Now the reason this was such a success was because when we told the members they seemed to have a spark to do missionary work rekindle. They have been working with their friends for a while and a lot of them accept the message but the distance was too far for them to really pursue it. Now there is a bus that will pass they are excited to start inviting their friends again!

We also met some really cool people this week who have truly been prepared by the Lord! we have so many contacts we have to go back and teach!

Whiew ! great times here in Grenville.

We had a small church attendance this Sunday but it will start to grow more and more just now!

I really do love this work and I am so excited to see all the people we are teaching grow more in their faith! Making changes to please God.

In church this past Sunday Sister Jasian was teaching about missionary work and she asked how doing missionary work makes me feel and really thinking about it, the Most joy so far comes from helping people make changes to come closer to God! and true sadness does come when someone rejects the gospel! 

I am so Glad and Grateful that God gave me Such a wonderful Mother and Father to teach me the ways that are right while I was in my youth!

I love you very much!

Enjoy your week!

Training is fun!

So yeah its warm in grenada! i guess the snow is scared of us here! haha 

Well let me see! many cool things have happened in the missionary life! This week i got to see Elder Bingham Be a district leader and teach the district meeting and it was wonderful! 

Me and Elder bingham decided we would have had a blast is we were in the same highschool growing up haha.... 

 

lets see um well we met some really cool people! while finding one day we met a guy named "JY". "JY" is a cool pretty nice guy who apparently likes to read, we contacted him and went straight into a lesson and gave him a book of mormon, he wanted us to come back the next day and when we arrived he said he didnt read enough to get a full picture. so asking how much he read he told us The first chapter of nephi, so we looked at where he showed us  and he had read all of first nephi and was ready to dive into it again! Plus he lives like 3 houses from the church. He might be hard to meet with again because he works in st georges and is all  over the place but we will se him and it will be awesome! 

best quote from him i would say is when we invited him to be baptized if he knew it was true. "Well if i knew it was true i cant run from God, Jonah tried that it doesnt work, so of course i would" 

 

We are really trying to get a lot more people to teach! its kind of hard when we dont get to go out in the mornings at all But we have a lot of teaching appointments all throughout the days! 

 

Oh  and another cool experiance is when we were trying to find someone we were supposed to teach we were slowly passing some houses trying to see if anyone was home and all i heard from a house we passed was "are those Latter days Saints?!" so i turned around and it was a lady from the states who was supper excited to see us here, she isnt a member but she thinks she wants to be. She is from maryland and is just going home, But she watched 17 miracles and loved it. so we gave her a book of mormon for her to take home! it was great! 

 

Training is fun! hard sometimes but he is  basically already trained, he would go out with missionaries for like 3-4 hours everyday to prepare for his  mission.. now  he 's  just gotta switch those skills into english! :) he is great! 

 

yes actually we did get a new sr couple.

They are the monks!  Sister Monks reminds me of Linda osmond. 

They are really old but awesome!

But i Love you much!
