September 16

this week has been an interesting week with plenty of eventful happenings. 

so im not sure if you have heard but there is a disease going through the west indies right now it is called chikun gunya, or "the walking bent over" but its interesting.    when you get it you have a fever really bad joint pain, and also a rash. and it last for a while usually.    but guess what! your darlin son endured and recovered from this ting in 2 days, and it probably would have been quicker if i had stayed inside like elder smith asked me to :)    it was interesting !    made my wrists hurt quite bad. But 65% of all of grenada has it actually.    maybe more than that by now. but that was interesting  and it kind of killed some of our time! :/    but  am all better now! 

now to answer your question as to how the islands  are doing;  i would have to say very well. Grenada is and so was barbados yesterday.    yesterday was zone conference and St lucia, St.vincent, Grenada, and barbados met all together for a very special zone conference.    It was special because Elder Zivic of the 70 came and spoke to us!    it was very good!    plus i got to see all my friends i had been transfered away from! 

Ohh and i also got to see elder Pohl. from coutts. took a picture with him!

But it was fantastic!

Hmm about the people we are teaching i would say the best one we have contacted thus far would be a girl named "DN".    she is 18 i think but we contacted her sister and her on our way up a hill to teach "MH".    now we didnt have much time but they had all sorts of questions for us.    so we gave them a restoration tract and said we would be back in 30-40 mins.    when we came back they had read through the whole thing and wanted us to tell them even more about the Book of mormon.    it was awesome.    unfortunatly the one sister lives way far north so getting her to come to church would be near impossible,    since there is no buses that run on sunday.

They understood so clearly and wanted more.

The person we were going to see was a lady named "MH" . She should be getting baptized this saturday. :)

She is cool! she acts on everything that we teach her! she is awesome!

We are still searching for a family but we met some reeally cool ones. On lady has 8 kids and they want  to come to church so we  might just  double the congregation haha.

hope you have a great week!

Love elder Pierson.

Oh ps they moved the baptismal goal up again this meeting. from 50 baptisms per month to 84 per month!
