April 25, 2022 - Cows, Moose and Vermont

 Hello everyone!

I know they called me to New York but my mission base is currently in Bennington, Vermont . Right by the New York border.

SATURDAY:

Normal day of classes at the MTC

SUNDAY: 

We had church.

MONDAY:

The Elders headed out, which was sad 😔.  The other sisters and I spent some time packing, and shopping. As well as exploring the campus a little more.

TUESDAY:

I flew out along with two other sisters from my district😅. The flights were pretty good and I actually didn't feel much jet lag. They also had us newbies knocking on doors right after the airport. Which was interesting.😬

WEDNESDAY:

I meet my trainer at a church. Her name is Sister Powell. It was awesome and my trainer is a great teacher! My first area is Vermont/New York. It's huge! We have places that are an hour away from our apartment within our area. We also gave out a Book of Mormon!

FRIDAY:

We traveled to Manchester and did some knocking. We also did some knocking near our apartment. We found a very sweet woman named Jen. We were able to give her a Book of Mormon.

SATURDAY: 

We had lessons with multiple members and friends. It was awesome! Most everyone here is very sweet. 

SUNDAY:

We went to sacrament. I played in church for the first time in forever. (Unwittingly added frozen lyric.😂) We also met a very sweet girl who seemed so ready for the gospel. So we gave her a Book of Mormon. Hopefully she reads it! We gave out a second Book of Morman as well.

MONDAY:

P-DAY we did General housekeeping, wrote emails, and contacted our families. They have weird decorations with cows/moose on some of their buildings. And big chairs in their fields. Pics are below, sorry some of them aren't that great.


Love,

Sister Martin

May 23, 2022 - Rain in a Second

  TUESDAY: We had Zone Conference day #1. Elder Johnson of the seventy came which was cool.  There are also three Martin's in our mission, none related to each other. I also had exchanges. WEDNESDAY : Our catch up day. We had a lot of lessons! THURSDAY : Day #3 of zone conference. Another exchange. Within the exchange I got to do my first service on the mission  and I started a phone call in Spanish. Which was cool. FRIDAY : We had lessons and some finding. SATURDAY: It was soo hot. We got up to like 89sh. I was walking up a set of stairs and a huge bee stopped right in front  of my forehead before I stepped forward.   luckily I saw and stopped but I almost got stung by a bee.  We also has a storm Saturday evening., and the rain came on so fast it was bizarre.  I'm still trying to decide how I like the weather here, but I guess spring is unpredictable everywhere. SUNDAY: We went to church. We had lots of lessons and visited a older member in our w...

Baptism and everything! - June 5, 2023

Hello beautiful people,                                                        Sister Prall and I found some beautiful Daisies. MONDAY: We had an awesome lesson with one of our friends Chris! We talked about Jesus Christ and why he had to come!  And we called random people at the church which was a bit strange but good! TUESDAY: So we had a slightly distracted lesson with our new friend Bryan. (Not the recent convert) we tried talking about prophets which went well but he kept on going on tangents about false prophets and some other tangents. And pulling him back to the fact that there is a true prophet today was fun. But we think we got the point across! But we had an awesome lesson about The Prophet and The Priesthood with our recent convert Bryan which was amazing!  We talked with someone I was talking to on Fac...

Problems are Like a Washing Machine - August 7, 2023

Hello, Wonderful Week!  Hope it was for you too! TUESDAY: Well Tuesday we had a lot of lessons planned, then they all fell through so instead we did a lot of finding. We stopped by this one house and they were just letting their dogs out so we got to pet two of their dogs who were very nice! One of them stayed a boy further back and made us a bit nervous but the owner was there so it was fine! We ended up having a good conversation with her though she wasn't interested. WEDNESDAY: We met with Sister Wilkinson! And when we went we thought it would just be Sister Wilkinson, then Autumn joined us and we just read to them from The Book of Mormon together! It was awesome! And Autumn was involved and commenting which she hasn't been the past few times we've gone!  We then showed up for youth night but it ended being somewhere else so we talked to the adults instead which was good! We also had a lesson with Jodi which was good! And we talked to someone named William who I had talk...
