3 Emails This Week

Elder Pinyon emailed me with 3 different emails. Just a reminder that I wouldn't be posting the whole email, because some of the portion of the email is confidential and I share what is relevant for you as a reader to know. There are photos this week!

Email 1; Elder Pinyon attached a few photos and he mentioned:

"Hey Megan, the skype call home yesterday was great. The baptism actually fell through, but I know that the Elders will recommit him to baptism and I was able to commit an investigator to baptism last night for the 7th June, so hopefully we can get him baptised and let him have the everlasting joy which we all know that he can have.

Love the work here.

Tschüss

Elder Pinyon"

A reminder Tschüss means "bye" in German.

Email 2; I will telling you the whole email for Email 2 because there was no confidential conversation. Elder Pinyon sent the email 6 minutes after the previous email. He mentioned:

"so tomorrow is my 3 month mark btw :D yay 21 to go"

Email 3; Elder Pinyon attached a few photos and he mentioned:

"Also saw Arthur this week and also put one of our investigators on baptismal date for 7th June, so really exciting stuff is happening :D"


Stay Tuned.

A Baptism Set on Mother's Day

I thought this week's email was really interesting and great! A baptism is set on Mother's Day. Just a reminder, that I don't post the whole email because sometimes, a little portion of the email is confidential and I share what is relevant for you as a reader to know. I received 2 emails this week and I will sharing 1 of the emails because it's relevant for you to know.

He mentioned through email, "I actually forgot to tell you a little miracle that happened I think. When I was on splits with the Zone Leaders, I went to Hannover for 24 hours and we had a lesson to teach this african man. We decided to teach him about the restoration and the priesthood and as I was saying something a thought came to mind and said "get him on date!" I was thinking "Im in the middle of something", but I just stop and said "Moses will you follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptised by someone holding the correct authority of God?" Moses paused and than said "....Yes" I than replied "Moses, Elder Atkinson and I love you so much and we have prayfully thought of a date for you and the date we would love to see you be baptised is 11 May, will you prepare yourself to be baptised on 11 May?" He said "I need to ring up the orthodox church and tell them that I am leaving so I don't have to pay to go to church"

So from that he is getting baptised on Mothers day this week :D So excited for him :D

Have a great week and take care

Elder Pinyon"

I am really grateful that he told me a little miracle that happened he thinks.

Stay Tuned.
