first off somthing cool that happened is that i got to eat lunch with a 70! Elder Gamiette is the area 70 in the carribean and we just happened to run into him at the mall when we went for lunch after our district meeting! so that was cool! i actually didnt recognize him cause liat lost his bag so he was wearing for "p-day" clothes he bought haha.
And hmm well for church i have only had to sing twice! and that was in St.Lucia. oh and once in St. Vincent! but never so far in Grenada!
This sunday was really fantastic! we actually had many people there! we hit a personal best at 22 people at church! we had to pull out chairs from the dining table to put in the congregation. we have had some success in finding a building! we got the number of one of the places we wanted to rent from and we just have to call them.
oh any i gave a talk on sunday! My talk was on GIfts! Gifts we give to God and Gifts God Gives to us!
So Cool thing about this past sunday was we had 5 investigators at Church! and 3 of them have baptismal Dates! for the 27th! so they are pregressing really well. her name is "GX" and her two children "CX" and "JX". They are cool kids. WE talked with her about the why of sacrament meeting and how it was so important. So she made it her duty to come!
We have a lot of people who were supposed to come but who didn't. i think we need to go and visit them more to encourage them!
We had an amazing experience last night as well! as we were going to one of our lessons with a man named "AE", i realized that we were an hour early. so we couldnt go yet. (by the way teaching a lot of men has always been a problem here) but going to teach "AE" we decided to go down a small over grown path that had maybe two houses at the end. So we went and found a wonderful family at one house the man was awesome! really loves christ and was happy to talk to us, he was really interested in the Book of Mormon. So it was great there! plus he introduced to his WIFE (legally married!) and she loves to crochet. so i talked to her about that! and she showed me all the things she had been making! like bags and table cloths and stuff!
Cool Family!
Then we asked them if they knew anyone we should go and talk to, and they reffered us to his neighbor saying that he was tryin to change his life so he thought maybe we could help! turned out that man was a really cool guy we had contacted a long time a go! an he is awesome! he is trying to change his life alot! quiting drinking smoking and liming with bad company! so it was an awesome night! we taught a lot of men that day! Glorious !
Let me see other cool things is "KA" makes some delicious punch!
"GA" is working on her marriage , "GA's" daughter is getting baptized on the 27 and all is well in Grenville!
I love being a missionary! i think i should do it like the sons of mosiah for 14 years or so haha sound good?
Anyways i have been teaching about the sabbath day using a wonderful experience. About bikes and mud guards. When you have one you keep yourself more fully unspotted from the mud. When not your get splattered to bits! the sabbath day is like a mud guard! haha great!
oh yeah and i am actually getting moved out of the WIM come july..... haha kind of. in july they are splitting the mission into the barbados mission and the trinidad mission.. So yeah that is cool! i get to serve in two mission!
Love you so much!
Love Elder Pierson
