Elder Pier Dick

A day in the life of an Elder: AKA:What I did yesterday 6:15AM - Woke up, prayed, and ran for roughly 30 minutes 7:00AM - Got home, and took a shower and ate breakfast yum 8:00AM - Personal study. Since our day is filled with teaching people about our church, and bringing people closer to Christ. When I study, I think about these people we are going to teach that day, and what they need to learn and hear about Christ and our Gospel. There's no sense in teaching them about how and why our church doesn't drink coffee on a day when they're really struggling with a recent death in the family! 9:00AM - Companion Study. We study together, and discuss what we will teach those we meet with today and how we will go about teaching it.  This is super cool because you get to see how inspired your thoughts are about the people you have planned, because your companion has the same ideas! That just confirms the hand of the Lord in the lives of these people. 10:00AM - Lang...

I'm sorry I missed last week!  We had the great opportunity to sacrifice the few hours we have for ourselves to help this wonderful family!  We were able to teach them all about Heavenly Father's wonderful gift of us being able to live with our families for all eternity.  We were able to interview this family to see if they were worthy, and believed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ enough to be baptized by the power of the Priesthood.  They are really excited to be baptized soon :) If you ever wondered what a missionary does, a sneak peak is on your way! Be ready for next week's letter, A Day in the Life of Elder Dick! I am a boy. And boys are not good at taking pictures. We just dont ever think to do it. So forgive me for not having anything to show you this week.  Mrs. Kathy, I'm working on that picture of Western Connecticut! I'm forgetful. I will repent and do better!  (Gosh the atonement rocks.) Thank you for all your prayers for me....
