Transfers to Guyana

We were at Hog Island This morning! 

it was a really wonderful P-Day activity! 

i really love liming at the beach whenever i get an opportunity to.. we are definitly Going to hog island When we come to see Grenada! 

 

but as for the Beaches i will no longer be able to Adore them. 

They dont have any beaches in Guyana 

So i guess ill have to Lime by the Stinky Rum Factory in Berbice. 

So yeah i am gettting moved to an area called Rose hall in Berbice Guyana. 

i leave early wednesday morning 6 am and get to Guyana at 2:30 carribean standard time (really most likely 4 or 5 haha) but yeah i am going to be sad to leave here! 

 

i was thinking its going to be unfortunate to leave such wonderful people and alot who were preparing for baptism! we have one planned for saturday coming! 

But i will wait for a picture from Elder Padilla. 

 

My new Companion is an Elder from wyoming named Elder Christianson. all i really know about him so far is that he is from the french side, just finished being a zone leader and he can Curl 200 pounds, oh and can bench 500 :0  

so we will be in guyana together and president said he will show me how to be District leader. so i am excited to work with him. 

 

Elder LEany told me that after the ap's came to visit and elder ferrin came with us he came back to get dropped off by the zone leader he told elder leany "Elder Pierson is a great missionary" 

i really enjoy Elder Ferrins company! 

 

But all was well this week!,  

Coolest experiance actually happened not to long ago. we went to teach this one lady we taught once when we contacted her.. 

oh a little background. we have been working on whats called a contract lesson, where you find out there concern and then commit them to baptism is through this gospel their concern is cured.. but we found her concern last time and it was "i Am really just looking for the right church for me to join."  

we taught her the Gospel and left a restoration tract when we first visited. When we came back she had read the restoration tract with her boyfriend and she prayed about it.  

She told us of a vision where she kept trying to leave church to go to a party and she couldnt find her way to the party. but the church kept being there. 

Her old path was suddenly Gone. 

But she woke up and talked with her boyfriend and when we talked with her she had come to the conclusion that the dream was from God to tell her this church is the true church! and she wants to join it. So she will start coming to church this sunday coming and get baptized once she gets married! Anyways that was most likely the Highlight! 

 

OH And if you remember  ME talking about Elder Jacobson.. The Friendly Giant. He is Elder Padilla's mother! o they are going to work miracles  here! 

 

Anyways i am happy all is well! Love you much! 

 

Denver is serving in trinidad! (Elder Ferrin Told me ) Shh ;) haha

anyways Love you

Talk to Everyone!

Things here have been quite wonderful! There have been so many cool things happening! 

 

When we were working with the Ap's Elder Ferrin Came to Grenville with us. and one thing we really learned is actually to talk to EVERYONE. literaly Every single person we would pass by on the streets he would talk to and teach and schedule a return appointment so we actually have full days of appointments till next week monday... haha we are really trying to find time to teach and set appointments with everyone we contacted we had 49 contacts on the week. 

Its tough to keep all the people straight haha.. but we are working hard.. 

 

So i don't know if we will have a baptism before the transfer is over. we are working for it and there is only one possibility and that is "GA's" daughter, but she got nervous the last time and changed her mind so we will see what will happen. we haven't talked to her about it but we will see what she wants.  

 

Its Crazy to think it is "S's" year mark! i hope those missionaries there and the Debovilles are working with her to get to the temple! that has been her goal ever since she had a dream about one haha. she is great! 

 

it has been wonderfully fun being here! and i actually have no clue what is happening this transfer i just like to talk haha. i actually hope that i will stay for one more. i would really like to see someone join the church while i am here! but As they are ready and as we find them they will come! 

 

Teaching has been pretty great ! i really enjoy it! its has been kind of tough trying to add some new aspects to our teaching! but its going well! we had a wonderful lesson with someone named "KH" yesterday. we had brother James come with us! we actually met and taught her and her friends she brought by the Pasture (soccer field)  

 

This week was a lot of fun! 

OH OH wait i almost forgot to tell you about another wonderful person! we actually met her husband first. but he wasn't too interested in religion. "not his Vibes" but Before we taught him we met his wife but she had to take care of the kids so she couldn't come meet with us. anyways time goes by and then we ware walking in Grenville and we hear someone call to us and its her and she asked us to bring her a Bible (Book of Mormon). so we did ! and we taught her and she told us when we first came she felt basically the spirit tell her  to listen to us. and then in the street when she saw us again she said she really didn't even think to call out she just felt and overwhelming prompting to call and she called without even thinking about it! 

She told us she had been baptized before but after our lesson we invited he to be baptized. and she said yes. When we were closing i asked her is she had any question and she said "so if this message is true then all other churches baptisms don't count?" so she understood very well! i am excited to see her again! 

 

things are wonderful here!

thanks for all the support!! 

 

Love you!
