Dear everyone,

    This past week was pretty crazy. Also, sorry for the late email it is because yesterday (Monday) was a public holiday for Australia.  Apparently it was the Queen's birthday! So ya, today we have p-day though.

Dinners with the members are the BEST!

I can't remember if I said but recently like within the last two weeks our mission president changed the dinner rules so that we as missionaries can have a dinner with members any day of the week! We also have to teach a 30 minute missionary lesson along with the dinner. (sorry if I already said that but I can't remember) But we really are liking that new rule because we meet the members more and also have more dinners so it is working out very well :)

This past Thursday and Friday was the Golden Orientation for Elder Meyer so we had to go and drive down to the city in order to let Elder Meyer have some awesome training and such for all of the new missionaries. It was cool because while Elder Meyer was in Brisbane, I stayed the day with another missionary who's "golden" (new missionary) was at the training as well.  So we were in Logan zone which is a little closer to the city than our area is.  That was cool to be in another area for a day. The Elders were actually moving flats though, so for a few hours what we were doing was packing up boxes and moving stuff, but it was pretty fun. Also, I got to see Elder Nemeth (my companion from the MTC) because the Elder I was on exchanges with shares a flat Elder Nemeth.  So it was good to catch up with him. On Friday we had some good trainings and such that president McSwain gave so it was pretty good! 

About our investigator Teniele and her family:  Satan has been attacking them hard because almost all of last week we didn't get to see them until Saturday because they all have been very ill with a virus and even some of her family members were in the hospital.  So we are still going to try and help her out the best we can!

Love you all !

-Elder Pierce
