Elder Pinyon has sent me 2 emails for updates. Just a reminder, I don't share the emails that has been sent back and forth like talking to each other.
He said "Hey, this week was just great, well actually the last 2 days. So yesterday we get a call in the middle of our eating appointment from my Zone Leaders, saying be at Tiergarten Pfahlhaus at 6.15pm the Piano Guys are playing for us. Now if you dont know the Piano Guys, please get to know who they are, they are amazing classical music musicians and Mormons. So we had a surprise fireside with them. They gave us their testimonies, they played for us and also answered questions for us. It was truly wonderful to hear these wonderful men just share their testimonies about the gospel, men that work together, they are signed up with Sony and they let the Lord do all the lead in anything they do. Music is amazing.
I learnt quite a few things from them, they told us that "when you take off the nametag, that is when you really start missionary work" I want you to remember that, because that for me is powerful, we are set apart servants of the Lord, but we need to enduring and continue working and do the Lords work, whether we are set apart or not. I also learnt that when we partake of the sacrament, we just dont renew our covenants we made at sacrament, we renew all of our covenants we make with the Lord. It is true, read and pray about the sacrament pray!
Also we shouldn't look at life through a telescope, the world makes us look through a telescope and that is not how the Lords wants us to view life, but we should take the telescope off and see the world for what it really is, it is a sanctuary. There is so much that we could see if we really just opened our eyes. Also we as members of the Lords restored church, need to be more confidant that we are members. I am not saying we should be prideful about it, but we need to be confidant. Don't be scared because you are Mormon, the Lord is on our side, He really wants us to see our potential and we can only do that through being confidant in who we really are.
So today, we played Turkey Bowl, which is an American thing, but it was really cool. So we played American Football, mission president was there and it was really great, I really enjoyed myself, but before the game, I did the Haka for my mission president and he loved it :D

Also another email, he said
"Also something to add to the blog that I learnt last night:
It was about spinning plates at the circus, so you know how at the circus the clowns get the plates on the sticks spinning, but they dont focus all on three plates, only when they start wobbling or falling, than they will focus on them. Well it is just like life, we need to focus on just one thing, yes we have got our other plates. E.g. our church plate, our family plate and our work plate. We cant let them fall because they are so precious, but we need to make sure that we are not focusing on all three at once or our life will collapse apart. Sometimes we just cant ballance things in our lives, but we just need to keep the plates spinning, that is what is important. :D"
