September 26, 2011 - Week 4 of Transfer 14
Those were some solid letters! Mom you made me laugh with your dreams, people in the office were staring at me. Its weird you having messed up dreams because I'm having them as well. Its the first time in my mission I've had them of going home but I tell you they aren't exciting. In every dream I end up crying because I've lost my calling and life at home is just to depressing... Scary! Anyways this week is looking way good! I am so pumped for general conference it is the greatest thing that can happen. I have been praying and studying in preparation for general conference and invite you to do the same. Elder Holland puts it good in this video. Please watch.

I hope you use LDS.org they are killing it on that website, mormon.org is good for non-members. But please please dive into LDS.org there are so many helpful tools on that site. This weekend Elder Speigner and myself will be downtown the entire time. We will be attending the Priesthood and Sunday Morning sessions with President Miller, so watch for me on TV. For the other sessions we will still be downtown but just to meet the group leaders, give them the tickets and lead them to the door of the conference center. After that we will jump into the tabernacle to watch the sessions we won't be attending. Looks like a legit weekend downtown for us.
Its going great with Elder Speigner he is so willing to learn the English assignment ways and work hard. For almost an entire week we have been running every morning at 6am for 25 minutes then doing some good stretches and workouts. Your right dad I defintely need it. I forget if I told you but Elder Speigner pitched D1 baseball for a school in California before his mission and is way athletic. So I'm slowly but surely burning off my little belly. You feel 10x better and leave the house with such a clear mind.
Our area continues to improve but of course I'm still stressing to find more and work harder! September was a hard month for us only 2 baptisms, our goal is always to "baptize weekly". Don't get me this is two more precious souls who have entered into the kingdom of God and I do love them, its also great compared to any other mission. But this is the Utah Salt Lake City South Mission where we hit the pavement! For October our goal is still 14 and at this time we have 12 baptisms scheduled. It is so hard to stay on top of things, 20 different wards and the task of assisting the President. In our last weekly planning session we looked at the weekend of October 1st and 2nd and saw we have zero baptisms scheduled. We told each other lets find someone this coming week who's prepared and able to be baptized in a matter of a few days. We both felt it was possible and at the close of our planning got on our knees and told the Lord our desires. Well today at 11:30am we met with a fellow by the name of Jeremy. His wife is less-active and they are both willing and wanting to be real strong in the faith. Jeremy was taught a year ago by missionaries, had a baptismal interview and backed out the last minute. Since then he has been reading and praying but hasn't accepted visits from the missionaries. Three months ago I even tried to contact him. Long story short he contacted us and told us he wants to be baptized ASAP! We invited him to be baptized this Sunday night and he gladly accepted! What a beautiful way to end the conference weekend.
I was able to watch maybe half of the General Relief Society broadcast, your probably wondering why? Well let me explain. President asked us to organize training and figure out if it was possible to have the broadcast played at our mission office (an old Stake Center) for all the Sisters in the mission. Well after looking into it, the Satellite was still connected and everything worked out smoothly. We had a solid, jam packed one hour training for the 40 Sisters on becoming a "Preach My Gospel Missionary". I will tell yeah Sisters are 10x easier to train. They listen, are so willing to learn and ready to act. Then Sister Miller had some big fancy dinner for them and after that, the broadcast. Sister Beck was the first Sister I actually enjoyed listening at General Conference, I didn't feel like she was teaching a primary class! And of course E. Uchtdorf was great.
Thanks for taking the time to read, hope you feel updated. This week is busy busy. We have two trainings on Wednesday should be fun. Elder Bertolino leaves just a little over a week, that's sad. I can't believe Elder Atwood is engaged! He called me yesterday, it was hilarious. I was shocked. So mad I won't be home for it but congrats to him, his woman is a lucky one. I love him. Love you mom and dad. Enjoy conference!

September 19, 2011 - Week 3 of Transfer 14
It was sure nice to see a picture of the family, Edmonton seems like a foreign land. That tree house was nuts, Jordan you are the man. Your yard is looking beautiful as well! I'm really excited to see all my nieces and nephews, only 5 months now... That is just weird. Today Elder Speigner and I are going up to Park City to be with Elder Bertolino and former Elder Stonebrink, now Brother Stonebrink. I'm to the point in the mission where all my close friends have gone home, and I'm left here with alot of new missionaries.
One week ago this time, we had only two people scheduled for baptism but the Lord has blessed us recently, we have had a successful week. We are now working with 10 people who have scheduled baptism dates! If you look at our records and key indicators anytime we have to deal with disobedience, heavy trainings or transfers they fall. But once we have some time in the area they sky rocket once again! Our goal for October is 14 Baptisms. I know we will find those 14 souls!
Saturday we had a baptism in our area of little Daisy Woodward who is 10 years old. It was different teaching her because she is extremely shy but so intelligent. We were able to have the entire family (including grandparents) who are all less-active sit in on the lessons. They have been attending church every week for the last several Sundays and are progressing in the Gospel. We were even able to build her Father up enough to have the confidence to speak on the Gift of the Holy Ghost at her baptism and he did a fabulous job. It was really nice to see such a change in a family, there is a different spirit in their home now.
Last night I was able to go back to my first area, the Sandy Willow Creek Stake, for a baptism of a lady I taught for six months. She has been waiting for 2 years to get off of probation and what a change in life it has been for her. She has walked a long road of repentance and learned great lessons along the way and just last night she was able to enter the waters of baptism at age 49! She had great support from the ward, her family and friends. It was held in the chapel due to the large amount of people and I was able to speak for 5 minutes or so and invite all of the non-members and less-active members to follow her example. Lots of fun! I also saw two of my recent converts at her baptism. Lourdes Tea and Cassidy Forman, they are new people! Great countenances.
Our area is blossoming once again and we just need to keep it going. Please pray that we will be able to accomplish our goal. Elder Speigner and I are getting along great and learning lots from each other. I never realized how much there is to teach someone as they become an Assistant. He is extremely passionate about the work and is exactly obedient. The greatest blessing of being an Assistant is your companion, they couldn't get any better. On Saturday night we taught a power house lesson! It was the first time teaching this single sister and her daughter. Pure testimony was born and the spirit was being poured into the room to witness of what we were saying. We invited them to be baptized on October 8th and they gladly accepted with tears in their eyes. The next morning we walked with them to church and they loved it. Karina and her daughter Italia, they have only lived in Utah for 3 years and its their first time meeting with missionaries.
I love you mom and dad and hope you enjoy your week at home. Thank you for the great update of the family. Please, please, please read your scriptures everyday. I am studying the New Testament right and I am in love with it, its my favorite part of my day. By the way I got my new scripture case, its tight.
Love Elder Pizzey!

September 12, 2011 - Week 2 of Transfer 14
Elder Bertolino is gone and I miss him! He was called to the Spanish assignment and served there for 10 months then was taken out for Leadership. So for the end of his mission he was able to finish Spanish, he's loving it. I talked to him yesterday and he is working miracles up in Park City. That area has had one baptism since February. He went up there found seven new investigators and scheduled baptismal dates with five of their investigators! All in three days! One of their investigators who wasn't progressing got baptized yesterday as well. So he is doing excellent, just a little update for you.
Elder Speigner and I are doing well, but its a crazy adjustment that's for sure. Going from Junior to Senior Assistant is quite the change. Sometimes a little stressful. This is Elder Speigner's first time in an English area which really is a whole new ball game. The way you teach, find and really just work the area. Going from one Bishop to 20 Bishops, its all different. So he feels like he's being re-trained in a way, he is adjusting well though. And since he has been out only one year and served as a Zone Leader one transfer there are many mission protocols he has to learn. Its quite the process. He has lots of faith and does not lack in confidence in anyway so we will be ok.
As far as the mission goes we got this entire week to work our area and we need it! This past week we did not have any baptisms but that will change real soon. I scheduled exchanges with all the Zone Leaders at the beginning of the transfer so they everyone can get to know and trust Elder Speigner. We are doing two to three exchanges per week this transfer. This past week I was able to go on an exchange with Elder McKinney, he will most likely replace me when my times done here. He is my favorite! We worked hard and tracted almost all day finding many people. He knows the doctrine so well, just dominates in the scriptures. I hope to be like that one day.
Well make sure you pray for us! We need all the help you can get. Many of our investigators got legit issues holding them back from baptism but we will exercises perfect faith this week by being obedient, working hard and sacrificing all we have to find the elect of God. I love you Mom and Dad, have a great week!

September 5, 2011 - Week 1 of Transfer 14
Sounds like you had a pretty rough trip. The story about Dad going into the back alley made me chuckle, people probably thought he was a drunk. (Tal and I and Taren had a quick little trip to Mazatlan and we are got terrible food poisoning) Today is the last Pday before transfers and it’s called “deep clean Monday” in our mission. Basically there are apartment inspections and you got to scrub the whole place down. We are at home right now just taking things easy today. Elder Bertolino is packing and going through all his junk. I believe I told you last week but once again, he is getting transferred up to Park City for his last four weeks (he leaves mid transfer). He will be finishing his mission in Spanish with a new missionary who has been trained poorly his first transfer. I am going to miss him. He has taught me a lot. My new companion is Elder Speigner who has been out a few days less than a year! He has only been a Zone Leader for one transfer and has no clue what lies ahead of him, he finds out tomorrow. He is definitely one of the strongest Spanish missionaries in the mission. I look forward to baptizing with him. Life in the mission has been really good this past week. Let me give you a quick update.
Zone Leader Council was one of the big highlights of the week, they just keep getting better and better. Elder Jay E. Jensen spoke to us in a small, hands on setting. I loved it! Revelation was flowing. At one point I shared connection of scriptures that came to me while he was unfolding the word to us and he got way excited! He made note of it and said, “If the spirit is teaching you then you young Elders can teach an old timer like me some things.” Elder Jensen knows his scriptures like no other. President Miller who knows most of the general authorities believes he might be the churches greatest scriptorian right now! He just unloaded on us and opened our eyes. He taught us how to better study the scriptures and revealed to us the power of the word. It was extremely motivating, I wish you could have experienced it.
Then we had Kayce Goodro’s baptism. We have been working with her forever! And only recently did things get serious. For a long time it was hard to get in the door or to even have her open the door. But eventually the Lord worked on her and her family. We were able to teach the family together. Her husband comes from an active family but he has been less active since age 16 and now he is preparing to enter the temple. They attend church every Sunday and keep all the commandments. Smoking was the big hold up with Kayce but when it came time she humbled herself and accepted a blessing from us. Just recently she shared with us a story we were unaware of. In the blessing I mentioned something along the lines of, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command your body to be free from the addiction of nicotine, even the very cells of your body to reject nicotine.” I don’t even remember using those words but Elder Bertolino and her said that was part of the blessing. Well it turns out after the blessing that anytime she even thought of smoking she felt like hurling! And if the temptation grew strong enough it resulted in her puking. It is quite the story especially when you have Kayce share it, she is extremely intense and maybe a little vulgar! End of the story though, she was baptized on Sunday with her eight year old daughter Kassidy.
The whole disobedient mess that I explained last week has been cleaned up basically after a lot of hard work. We have seen some miracles in the mission recently though. Elder Bertolino and I had our most spiritual experience while sitting down with a missionary to correct him this past week. My love for the Elders and Sisters is really growing. This certain Elder was pointing the wrong way but by the end of our visit he was heading in the right direction. Elder Bertolino and I were like two little tugboats pulling a massive ship from opposite ends to turning it on the spot into the right direction. It is amazing how willing missionaries are to repent and be obedient if they have some help. We read from Helaman 5 about his countenance and Romans 13 about being subject to our leaders. In the weird mission lingo this Elder would be considered my Grandson (Elder Ng’s son lol) and before we left he asked for a blessing and we were able to give him one. I love this Elder.
Transfers, new missionaries, departing missionaries and a new assistant are all this week! It should be hectic and a good opportunity for me to grow. It will be a little scary without Elder Bertolino but I will be able to do it with the Lords help. These past few transfers Elder Bertolino has taught me so many things especially how to use and exercise the Priesthood. I will miss him and do love him. I love you mom, dad and family! Have a good week.

August 29th 2011 - Week 6 of Transfer 13
This morning we went golfing with my MTC companion at a ghetto golf course for 9 holes, it was real fun. They let missionaries play for free and then we just rented a golf cart. I can drive the ball and hit from the fairway quite well but my short game is no good. Putting I'm awful at. You could say I was one of the better ones in our group but that's not saying much... I actually double boogied every hole! I think I could pick my game up real quick though. I got on the green on a par 4 in two shots twice! Just can't finish. Well when I'm old and boring I'll pick it up.
This past week has been pretty intense, alot happening. Tuesday we asked President what district meeting he would like us to go to. He thought about it for awhile then gave us one. We both second guessed what he told us to do because a few weeks prior we attend the exact same district. We of course did what he had asked of us and we are lucky we did because it opened up a whole can of problems! Which sounds bad but its better they are resolved than continue on covered. Real fast it turned into a 48 hour exchange for Elder Bertolino and myself. Elder Bertolino grabbed an Elder from a three some and I went to join this companionship who are actually serving in my greeny area (my first area). As I spent 48 hours with them the onion kept peeling back layer by layer till we finally got to the bottom of it. They were so humble and willing to change after some time of sitting down with them. But like I said from this one situation alot has opened up that we did not know about, so it's a little stressful trying to take care of it. It was nice this happened before transfers, it definitely helped.
On Sunday we did have five baptisms! Two different families. There was the Lagi's who are from Africa and the Stewart's. We have been teaching the Lagi kids for a month now and it has been interesting. Their English isn't the best so we have had their close friends who are active members help in translation at times. I am in love with these kids though, they are adorable. They love church and learning about Jesus Christ. It's so cute to hear them teach each other and discuss things we leave with them. When we go over to their house they come running out of the apartment and jump from the top of the stairs attacking you. They always want a hug. And I believe I shared how we met the Stewart's. Just walking by Heather (the mom) one day as she was getting in her car and decided to talk to her. Now after a month and a half of teaching her children are baptized and she is on her road to the temple! Their baptism was great, there was lots of support from the family.
That is basically it for the week. Things are lookin gnarly for this week. I don't know how we are going to do it. We have new missionary training, new district leader training, zone leader council and a training for all the trainers of this upcoming transfer. On top of that madness (those are not short meetings) we have our area to maintain. Zone Leader Council is going to be unreal. We are heading downtown to have it in the conference center and while we are there a few different under the scenes tours, then Jay E. Jensen will address us! Just 20 of us in a special little room! I hear he knows his Scriptures like crazy. He is the Presidency of the Seventy. Expect a jam packed email next week.
Love your boy, Elder Pizzey.
