Great Easter

This week, I received 2 Emails from Elder Pinyon. One of the emails is a update and the other was photos with explanation of the photos.

First Email, he mentioned "I had a great Easter, we had an awesome service yesterday, even though we only have 20 members, its all in German too so I have to really listen in. Yesterday we had a miracle, we decided to go and find some less actives and wish them a Happy Easter and we found this lady that hasn't been to church for years and she was BBQing so she invited us in and we started talking about the gospel. Then she just opened up her heart and bore her testimony of the gospel, it was truly amazing.

Tschüss

Elder Pinyon"

I have 2 reminders. The first reminder is I wouldn't be sharing the whole email of what he says, because sometimes I consider it's confidential between Elder Pinyon and I. I will be sharing what is relevant to you all readers to read about to keep updated from Elder Pinyon. I hope that you will accept and understand that.

The second reminder is Tschüss means "bye" in German.

Photos are uploaded on "Mission Photos" Section on the Blog, and Photos also are uploaded on Facebook under a album "MTC & Mission Photos"

2 Months Down} 22 Months To Go

2 Months down and 22 Months to go! It was 2 months since Elder Pinyon left to go on his Mission. It must be exciting for him to reach 2 Months today! Some people may ask "Say what?" as a reaction to the image below.

Well time has been going fast. It feels like just yesterday since I was on the last phone call conversation with Elder Pinyon before he left when it was actually 2 Months and 1 Day ago.

Highlight of the month: 

He is no longer a Zone Leader.

No Longer A Zone Leader

There wasn't much to say for this week. Here's bits and pieces for this week's email and no photos this week. Elder Pinyon mentioned to me through email not too long ago, "in Germany now so I am no longer Zone Leader." I knew that he wouldn't be no longer a Zone Leader when he arrives at the Mission Field, I still asked him if he was a Zone Leader. I am sure that he was happy for being a Zone Leader while he was at the Missionary Training Center.

He shared some amazing news with me, he also mentioned through the email that his Best Friend "Jordan Wehi" is going on a Mission and where he got called to serve which I thought that was awesome. If you "Jordan Wehi" reading this post, Congratulations on your Mission Call.

Lastly, Elder Pinyon mentioned through the email, "just teaching and finding, take care and Tschüss

Elder Pinyon"

Tschüss means "bye" in German.

Just a reminder, I wouldn't be sharing the whole email of what he says, because sometimes I consider it's confidential between Elder Pinyon and I. I will be sharing what is relevant to you all readers to read about to keep updated from Elder Pinyon. I hope that you will accept and understand that.

So, Elder Pinyon will appreciate any mail that you send out to him. The best address for sending him letters and any mail should be addressed to the Mission's Home Address which is;

Elder Jacob Michael Pinyon

Germany Berlin Mission

Zerbster Straße 42

12209 Berlin
Germany

First Area is Göttigen

Elder Pinyon's First Area is Göttigen. As I researched a little bit about Göttigen, I realised there isn't much to say about the area. Here is a little information that I have researched about the area.

Göttigen (Lower German Chöttingen) is a university town in southern Lower Saxony. With a share of around 20 percent of college students in the population of the urban life of two other universities is heavily dependent on education and research of the Georg-August-University, the oldest and largest university in Lower Saxony, and embossed.

Germany is Great

Elder Pinyon arrived to Germany safe and sound on last Wednesday. I received the first email from Elder Pinyon, and it's his first Preparation Day on the Mission Field.

Elder Pinyon mentioned "Germany is great thank you, I love it here and it is so beautiful. I am currently serving in an area called Göttigen and we have roughly a teaching pool of about 12-15 investigators, we are inviting them all to baptism next week."

Arrived in Berlin, Germany

Readers, while I was tracking Elder Pinyon's plane direct flight from Amsterdam to Berlin Germany, I have noticed that the time of Elder Pinyon arriving time kept changing. I was getting confused at first but I got used to it after 2 times that it happened. Well I am sure that you will be lucky to read this, I have print screened during Elder Pinyon heading to Berlin, Germany. Each Print Screen tells a summary. Please take around 10 minutes out of your time. The departing time and arriving time is the time of the airport times. Elder Pinyon is 8 hours behind us.

I was feeling super crazy and all mixed emotion. I was so happy. I was looking forward for this moment to track the last step to he reach to Berlin, Germany. (1)

(1)

Elder Pinyon just left Amsterdam, woot whoo! I was so excited. Another 1 Hour and 24 Minutes to go. That is how long the plane flight suppose to go for. (2)

(2)

Now, it has started changing of the arriving time. Do you see what I mean now? It was really confusing to me. I didn't understand of what was happening. This was the first time ever happened to me while tracking a plane flight. It was totally unexpected that it would happened. However, 43 Minutes to go until Elder Pinyon arrives Berlin, Germany. (3)

(3)

Everything goes back to normal for a bit. Time was surely going fast or should I mention too quickly? (4)

(4)

Not again, it has happened again, Elder Pinyon's plane flight has changed again for the arriving time. It was so confusing. Elder Pinyon arrives in Berlin, Germany in 1 Minute. It was so soon. (5)

(5)

Everyone, Elder Pinyon has arrived safe and sound in Berlin, Germany at 9:52am. It was great to see that his plane has arrived safely. Make sure that you definitely start writing to the Mission Address that is in Germany. He will be so happy. He will be meeting his new Companion. As far as I know, he is still the Zone Leader. I was have to ask him sometime about that. He will be meeting his Mission President and his Mission President's Wife for the very first time.

How exciting would that be? I am sure that I would be so excited if it was me. Another beginning has just started for Elder Pinyon, but this time it starts from his first Mission Area which I don't know where as yet.

Each time that I post, it will say the time when I post the blog post in the same time zone as Elder Pinyon so it would be easier. Also, I hoped that you can read this blog post well.

Last 20 Minutes at Amsterdam

I really wonder what Elder Pinyon would be doing while waiting for his plane flight to Berlin, Germany. I was going to get one of my other friends to see if he gets on the plane safely or not. But sadly, she is working at the moment and wouldn't able to do that for me. Otherwise, if she wasn't working, I am sure that my friend would have done that. Oh well. Maybe she can go that when Elder Pinyon coming home.

Aaaah, it's super soon! It's a crazy feeling to know that Elder Pinyon completed his stay at the Missionary Training Center. I am so looking forward to track his plane flight and it's not even funny. I am serious.

I am sure that he will be great Missionary. I really hope you keep up to date with all the blog posts that I do. Otherwise, it would be really hard to catch up or I am sure that you would complain like there is so much reading to do. Well stay tuned.

Leaves Amsterdam Around 2 Hours

Less than 2 hours remaining for Elder Pinyon to leave Amsterdam. I am happy to remind you that I will be definitely tracking his plane flight direct to Berlin Germany from Amsterdam. Elder Pinyon has looked at the Page a few times and says it's good. I was happy about that.

The photos that is shown isn't my photos and neither it's Elder Pinyon's. I was looking at Google Images of the Airport that he currently at. I thought it would be nice to see a few photos of the Airport.

I wonder what is Elder Pinyon feeling right now. All I know that he has super excited because he told me that through emails. So I really don't know how he is feeling right now.

Just a reminder, relatives and friends of Elder Pinyon's, starting writing letters to Elder Pinyon to his German Address since Elder Pinyon has left Provo Missionary Training Center.

He would love and appreciate any mail that you send to him. Well who wouldn't? Anyway, I am sure that it would be great to read letters from home especially family and friends. Remember to look at the Section that says, 'Contact Details' for his Address.

Announcement} Not Long Now

Announcement: 

Around 3 Hours and 10 Minutes to go, Elder Pinyon will be going on his last plane flight to Berlin, Germany. So around 4:54PM in our time, it would be leaving Amsterdam. I will be tracking his last plane flight, so that I will let you all informed of how far to go and when the plane has arrived safely. His last plane flight is leaving 5 minutes early which I really thought that was very interesting. 

I am getting super excited and nervous for Elder Pinyon at the moment. It doesn't seem that long now. His last plane flight is a short plane flight (less than 3 hours).

Re: Germany This Week

I sent Elder Pinyon a short email because I was running out of time and I didn't know what to say. I mainly mentioned to him, "All the best.I am proud of you. Stay safe, take care."

Elder Pinyon replied back to that short email and said

"Thanks Megan, tomorrow I leave for Germany and I'm so excited :D I leave Salt Lake on 1 April at 9:30am than get to Minneapolis at 1:30pm, than leave Minneapolis at 3:45pm and get to Amsterdam on 2 April at 9am than to Berlin on 2 April at 10:30am. Just so you know if you wanna add that to my page, ive looked at it a few times and its good :D thanks heaps

I'll send some pics soon. 

Elder Pinyon" 

Time surely has grown really quickly that his time is almost up at the Missionary Training Center and then he will be going to the Mission Field. One sleep until he leaves. Ahh, I am still happy for him and proud of him no matter what. Elder Pinyon will be a great Missionary. I am sure that he has learnt heaps at the Missionary Training Center. I am sure that he will miss The Missionary Training Center. It is almost time to move on from that and look forward to the next big step into the Process as a Missionary. 

Just remember "Re" stands for reply in emails.
