St Lucia is Great! we had a pretty Good Sunday! There we 71 people at sacrament meeting. So it was goood! Now that the Christmas and new years season are over people are becoming more reliable! But It was a good Sunday. The branch is getting bigger and the members are getting better! Elder Schroeder says when he first came to church in St Lucia there was 20-30 people who would come to church every week! So its a crazy difference! But as for me and Elder Schroeder we had 4 investigators at sacrament and about 8 who came. Some just came late but we are doing good! Highlight of the Sunday attendance was.. well there were a lot. "S" brought her son her daughter and her daughters boyfriend with her so that was exciting. Also the lady we contacted during the huge storm came! Her daughter wished she could come but she had Netball Practice. But she is so nice and made friends at the church instantly. We actually called her during the week. We forgot to call, but when we did she was freaking out. She and her daughter were apparently just talking about us when we called so I guess that made a pretty amazing impression! But Sunday was great! With six missionaries in one branch the branch really grows! It's super cool!
Anyways Darren proposed? I never would have guessed ;) sad that I'm probably gonna miss the wedding! Unless they have a 20 month engagement haha.
One thing I have really realized while here on my mission is how blessed we are to live so close to a temple! It's gonna be nice to be able to go to the temple again! I've decided to make it a goal in my life to go to every temple in Utah! So there will probably be like 5 more temples there by the time I get home! haha it will be a fun goal!
But yeah it costs so much for the people to get to a temple when they live here. They don't have much money, so it's a real struggle to get them there. It's amazing to think that one day there could be a ward here probably not a temple since there isnt many people on the island but that would also be really cool
OH and crazy thing is that this Sunday I met another person who was just barely in Cardston for their grandsons wedding! they were from Utah.
OH and yes President Mehr is amazing ! I learn so much every time he talks! And yes we have recently gotten our studies better and I learn alot in them! :) It's really nice!
This gospel is full of so many cool things and fun things to study!
"S" is becoming one of the best missionaries I know! I don't know if refering to an MRT will make sense to you but "S" has been giving us so many MRT's we taught 9 this last week and she has given us about 13 so she is really a good force for good here in Castries. She also says she feels ready to give a talk! She is awesome! And she got a talk for next week so I guess the branch president is inspired! haha it's cool!
Anywho I love you all and go to the temple lots for me! :)
Love Elder Pierson!
