So surprise my p-day is on a Friday!! Which is really kind of nice because I have only been here less than three days and I get to have this nice little break. And I am excited to go to the temple and go through a session I have some questions and things that I want to bring to the temple and let me just say one thing I have learned so far in my short time is that the lord DOES answer prayers. So pray in faith and I testify that you will receive answers or comfort. Something cool that one of the instructors of a discussion said was to pray in your heart while you teach to feel God's love for that person and holy cow does that work!
But so my companion's name is Elder Nemeth and he is from near the Seattle Washington area! So opposite sides of the country but it's really cool I feel like we have a lot in common and we get along pretty well. Even though he says he doesn't know a lot about the scriptures and such... He definitely has humility and the spirit and I need to learn a thing or two from him. But we both love to sing and have been in choirs all our life which is awesome and we are both are stoked to go to the choir practice for the MTC choir!! We are both going to Brisbane Australia which is also an awesome plus! So he is also 19 but he turns 20 in December so he is the school year younger than me but it's all cool :) Also my computer is about to restart for updates.... :/ haha but now it has decided to come back! Alright so now I'm back to writing. My district in the MTC is awesome we have two sets of elders and three sets of sisters (including me and my companion) All of the elders are 19 and three of us are going to Brisbane and the other is going to Adalade (however you spell that...) (its spelled Adelaide) but their names are elders Hanaley, Cummings, sisters Farely, Hill, Simonsen and there is one more sister that I can't remember the name of for the moment.
I don't have any pictures to send for the moment for a couple of reasons... I forgot my camera and I only have one picture but I will send that to y'all next week. What else.. I love all of the study time other people in my district are not liking it but I think it's awesome to have lots of time to study. So far me and my companion have taught our first investigator/ teacher the first lesson I was tending to ramble but other than that I think it went alright Elder Nemeth did great. He was really afraid he was just going to forget everything and be like "words are hard" quote from him but the spirit helped us both. And that is the key to the work. 1 work for the spirit so the spirit can do the real work. I have Many things to learn and I hope that I can catch on quick. But I just want to be the best missionary that I can so that I can bring souls closer to our savior Jesus Christ. (also sorry for all the grammatical mistakes..) (many were corrected) But ya even my zone is awesome and the zone leaders have been helping us a lot. I hope that I learn where everything is so I can get around better but me and my companion are working on that! I love y'all lots and even better I can testify that God loves each and every one of you :)
-Elder Pierce
