Wonderful Opportunity

Elder Pinyon mentioned a lot through email, I thought to share with you some of what he mentioned.

"This week I had the wonderful opportunity to think about my past (as missionaries we have no time extra to ourselves haha). As I have gone throughout the last 10 weeks, I have really seen a big change in the hearts of many people here. They have blessed me as I have blessed them. It has been truly amazing. This week I had the opportunity to give 2 blessings to people in our ward, it was truly a wonderful feeling to feel the Lords power flowing through me as I blessed them. It is truly a blessing that the members trust a missionary such as me and others to bless them and we dont even speak the language fluently or know them personally. I know that as we use the Priesthood righteously and for good dominion, the Lord will bless us with many blessings to come.

This week was also amazing because of the amount of miracles and blessings that we were able to see. I know that these miracles only came about because of the exact obedience that we commit to and follow through. I love my mission with all my heart, it is truly amazing to be able to serve the Lord and there will be always other ways to serve the Lord, as long as we always remember Him and are always worthy for His spirit.

Really Amazing Week!

Elder Pinyon hasn't been emailing me much updates lately, so that is why I haven't been updating the blog much. Just a friendly reminder that the spelling errors isn't my fault. Here's the email of what he mentioned to me.

"This week was really amazing. I went through 3 companions this week. I sent off my old companion to Forst on Tuesday, it was a sad farewell, but all good things have to come to an end. But on the same day I got to serve with Elder Hogan for about 2 days as I waited for my little GOLDEN missionary. It was a fun 2 days in between serving with Elder Hogan, it was great coz we are both 2 experienced missionaries doing the Lords work (but you dont always need 2 experienced missionaries doing the Lords work, I can testify of that).

Than on Thursday I received my Brand New missionary. His name is Elder Hunt. He is great, he comes from Arizona and is a bit quiet, but I will get him noisy haha. We had a great week and even found his first new investigator on the street. The Lord is blessing us because of your prayers that you give for us here in Germany. I am truly grateful for all of your prayers :D That was pretty much my week except for Saturday.

Saturday we had Elder Bednar come and teach us. It was amazing the way he taught us, it was a way where we were all involved and we would answer questions that he would ask. Than we would ask him questions that would help us be better missionaries because the questions we asked him was the questions that can better improve our teaching as missionaries.

I love the mission and know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ."

Full of Ups

Elder Pinyon wrote the update through as a reply to my email that I sent from last week. I will mentioned most of the things that he have said. It's not my fault for the spelling errors. 

"This week was full of ups and downs, but I would like to focus on the ups this week. So to start off, I had an awesome P-day, I went to the Berliner Mauer (Berlin Wall), Brandenberger Tor  (you will have to google it if you can) and also the Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral). I can add photos in another email. It was so much fun. 

So now to the good stuff, the missionsarbeit (missionary work). This week was encompused with a lot of finding, but that is ok, unfortunately we didnt find anyone, but the highlight of the week was Saturday for me. We a FamilienFest 2014 (Family fest) it was so much fun. We were on a stand of pinates, there were other stands like hitting nails into wood, family history, prophets and so many other things that all related to the gospel. That was all fun and games. 

Shortly after we were invited by the sisters to go and help teach an investigator that will be getting baptised very soon. They taught him about the priesthood and he was desiring a priesthood blessing (remember he is German). We than said well we have 2 elders and a member that hold the priesthood that can bless you, who would you like to give the blessing. And I still dont know why, but he asked me to give the blessing. It was the most scariest moments in my life, I dont think I have prayed so hard so I could speak German. I dont remember what I said, but I remember the feeling and all I could feel between I put my hands on this mans head and when I said amen, was the love of our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Later we found out, that was all that this investigator could  feel as well. I know that God loves us and that He wants to bless us. We just need to be prepared and opened to let His blessings flow through us. 

Elder Pinyon"
