2 More Baptisms!

hello family! how is it going over there in vegas? how is the Ritz doin? we are doin good down here, Arizona weather sure is hot thats for sure, my typing is going to be real bad today, we were playin volleyball with the mommas (mothers in the word with like 5 kids each) and i smashed my fingers pretty darn good, one might be broken, but im fine, no need to worry, i have bandaids with superheros on them haha.

Well this week went really good. we had 2 more baptisms on thursday and confirmations yesterday. Their names are Shayla (14) and Laney (9) they are really cool girls and i got some pictures so i can send that to you.

i also went on my first exchange the other day. i went all the way down to Nogales with our zone leader Elder Feltner. he is so cool and only has 4 weeks left. the only problem with the exchanges was thta elder feltner is a spanish speaking missionary and Nogales is a spanish speaking zone haha. all i did was sit there and nod my head hahaha, it was so much fun. i could understand what they were saying kinda but not really. he just told them that i can undertand really well but i cant speak it, it worked out for us. we talked for a long time about stories of the past and stories about the mission, it was so much fun. but nogales is seriously like right on the border, me and elder baradoy stopped and took a visit to the border and took some pictures haha, it was so fun.

Hello from the MTC

hello everybody, its elder pierce, well i normally would have 30 min to write this email but i only have 20 because the computer is really dumb. well anyways, i am having so much fun here in the mtc, my district is awesome, i will go through them in a little bit. The packages you guys sent me were awesome and my district loved the cookies, there should be a letter on the way concerning them.

Well i will start things off with some interesting news, i got called to be district leader, i guess president Teshima was right when he said leadership is in the future. as district leader im pretty much in charge of getting all the mail and making sure that everryone is where they are supposed to be on time. it is stressful but it is a lot of fun. but as district leader i may be the sheriff but i am the servant. i am here to help these elders with whatever they need...and i love it! haha

Elder Salzman & Elder Pierce

Now i will say a little about my district. my companion is elder salzman, he is such a funny guy. by physical appearance we are complete opposites, he is small and thin and is peruvian. but he tells the funniest jokes and is always making the entire district laugh. he is feeling really homesick as of late though. then there is elder howard, he has had brain cancer twice and surgurys for each of them. he is so humble and has such a kind heart. unfortunately elder tanner has already left for home, he was only with us for a couple of days but we still considered him our brother-in-arms. it was really hard to see him go. Then there is Elder Fisk, Elder Roberts, Elder Simpson, and Elder Lara. Elder fisk is hilarious and is the joke maker. Elder Roberts is the more doctrinal one, really smart. then elder simpson is the outdoorsman/marine, and elder lara is the quite one, he is starting to get out of his shell more and more each day though.
