February 23, 2010- First E-mail!!!

Hey family!
Today is my PDay and we went to the Provo temple today, it was an awesome experience. There is way to much to tell and so little time to. You guys had a few questions so I'll try to answer them quickly. Mom asked if family could email me? Yes they can email me but only family.And I am only given 30 minutes once a week, on Pday, to write emails. Today it took 25 minutes to set up so I know have 6 minutes and 13 seconds left..... scary. So my point there is they could email me but its will be basically impossible to respond to seven emails, one is hard enough. I think we should set this up so I write one email a week, letting you know whats up. Mom and Dad can write one joint email back to me, as there personal note of the week. I would prefer getting letters from sisters, relatives and friends as is much more exciting. Man time is ticking 4 minutes left and the clock is flashing until it automatically logs you out of the computer! Ok and dad the back pack I have is perfect couldn't love it more, so convient. I forget what else dad wrote me, but MTC is great. Its all about pray, pray, pray and when your done praying just pray some more. Its the key to everything. I had pretty good time in the celestrial room in the temple today, wrote a letter to Lindsay, did some laundry and alot of reading the BOM! Gonna get it finished quickly here. Ok sorry this email is so short and all over the place but next week will be better! Love you guys and take care. P.S. still haven't got any letters in the mail. Everyone else as :( LOVE!!!!

This day was filled with emotions! Happiness, Nervousness, Saddness (only because we wouldn't be seeing Blake for 2 years). We knew this day was coming and it came and now we're glad it's over so Blake... I guess now Elder Pizzey can serve his mission!

Ready to Leave!

Called to Serve

Welcome to Elder Pizzey's Blog!



Elder Blake Pizzey was called to serve for a period of 2 years in the Salt Lake City South Mission. Some may say Utah? Isn't everyone mormon in Utah. Well there is actually a lot of missionary work to be done and Utah reports some of the highest baptizing missions. Some of the perks of being in Utah on a mission: well as I already stated high baptism rate, fed very very well, beautiful place to live in, nice weather, and get to go to conference. I guess regarless where you serve your mission, as long as you serve hard and have a good attitude you will love the mission and people you serve.

Video of Blake opening his mission call:
We are very proud of Blake and his decision to serve a mission. These next two years will be the HARDEST and most REWARDING years of his life. We're thankful for him and his example. We love you, miss you (not enough to come home), and are proud of you. Now in the words of President Hinkley's Dad, "Now forget yourself and go to work!"
