2 Investigators in 2 Days

It has been awhile to wait to get updates from Elder Pinyon, I was getting impatient and I was feeling a little frustrated that Elder Pinyon hasn't been emailing me. I understand when people serve their missions known as Missionaries, they do get busy and focus a lot of their time on their Missions. Sometimes, they do email other people and ran out of time.

Here's what Elder Pinyon emailed me and reminder that I wouldn't be mentioning the whole email. Again, spelling mistakes isn't my fault.

"Hey. This week has been amazing, in the last 2 days we have found 2 new investigators. We went to a few small dorfs this last week for some appointments, one is called Northeim, Friedland and also Rosdorf, the people are so friendly and lovely, I love the mission work here in Germany, it is amazing to see the German hearts really change because God is real there.

This week we also had Elder Dyches come and address us for our half mission conference. He really emphasised how important member missionary work is. One thing that I want to say to all my friends is work with the missionaries. Don't be scared to invite your friends to the Gospel, its only going to be the biggest blessing in their life and you will be giving them Eternal life. Salvation is not easy. You don't need to invite a friend to church, it could be as simple as inviting them over for dinner and having the missionaries there and just let your friends ask all the questions they want. Let them be in an environment that is comfortable for them. I can promise that when members work with the missionaries that our world membership will double in no time at all.

It has been really hot tho lately, about 40 degrees Celsius everyday, such beautiful weather :( But all is good just sweating it up and enjoying life. If we dont enjoy life than why live? I wouldnt trade anything for my life right now. Also one thing I learnt this week is to never be affraid, when you are affraid Satan controls you and takes over your body. I love you all so much and you are all in my prayers every night and day. Take care my dear friends and may God always be with you.

Elder Pinyon"

2 friendly reminders that Elder Pinyon's Birthday is on 29th of this month, and it would be great if you write a letter to him to wish him a "Happy Birthday" or through email to wish him a "Happy Birthday." I am sure he will appreciate it.

Another reminder that myself Megan Green, is updating the blog while Elder Pinyon is serving his mission. Both on Facebook and Blog is the Mission Photos.

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"

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.
