Hola Familia!
It was so much fun to get to talk to you guys on Christmas! I really do have the best family and friends. I love you!
This rest of the day was really fun. We played games with a family in our ward. They have 4 young kids and it was fun to see them excited. We had a really good time with them. Later on we went to the Poll's to have a Micronesian Christmas dinner! They had a ton of family over and it was packed but lots of fun. There was soooo much food. We had lumpias and pancit and lots of other good stuff! I think it is all really similar to food from the Philippines.
The last few days have also been great! We saw Gh and he came to church this Sunday! He was really tired because he had stayed up the night before but he's trying! We also saw Ny and had a great lesson and she came to church again and loved it too.
Brother K is doing awesome. He couldn't come to church this week because he was working but earlier this week we had a great lesson about the 10 commandments. Actually we only made it through the first 5 because he had so many questions but they were all really good. He likes to understands things really clearly but then has so much faith to act even if he doesn't get answers to everything. It's the perfect formula to find truth. We have to understand doctrine and also have the faith to act. We are seeing him tomorrow; should be great!
There is a recent convert mom and daughter who are awesome. Their names are Ajulu and Odonga. I've probably mentioned them before. Anyways, Ajulu's son and step-son are here right now and came to church and loved it! They are here for a few weeks and are going to be moving here soon. They are really interested in the church and the one son participated a ton in our Sunday School lesson. It was awesome!
This week should be another great one! I hope it is great for all of you and that you have a very happy new year! :)
Love,
Hermana Pierce

Good morning,
I am going through a couple of your emails from the last month or so and wanted to follow up on a few things.
First of all, why do you sometimes call Ma, Brother K? And you mentioned he’d set Jan 24 as his baptismal date. Is that still the date?
So have you had any follow up with the gal who works at Walmart that you took the pie too on Thanksgiving?
Also, I wanted to ask you when we were talking on the phone if you had had much opportunity to use music on your mission, play the piano, sing or anything like that.
How is D doing? Have you had any follow up with him?
Thanks! Love you!
Dad

Ok so we started out calling him Ma because that's how he introduced himself but we asked if it would be okay if we just called him brother k because that's how we refer to each other in the church... and its weird calling him his first name since he is a doctor. and he probably won't be ready by the 24th because of some things that have come up with his brother living with him and also he needs to come to church more... but soon! No, we haven't had any follow up with her... we saw her one time when we were at walmart and she came and gave us a hug!
Haha D.. So we had a lesson with him a few weeks ago but we didn't even teach him because he was super drunk. It was ridiculous. But then last week he came to our lesson with his friend Evans who is a member and he was sober and it went well. He had good questions. Maybe something will happen in the future with him but he's got a lot of problems and isn't willing to do enough to fix them at this point.
Haha, so that's the update! Sorry, I always forget what I tell you guys so I'm sure I forget to follow up on lots of things!
Love you!
