May 9, 2022 - Peace Pagoda

Hello everyone.

TUESDAY:
We went to something called stone soup in our ward. Where someone cooks a meal from extra food in our serving area. It was pretty good and we had two of our friends come! We were able to give a church tour to one and fit both for baptism! 
WEDNESDAY:
Once a week our district gathers together to talk about our friends and do role plays. Ours is Wednesday. This week the Elders brought a huge box of candy, mostly KitKats for some reason. 
THURSDAY:
This week while we were knocking doors there was one house that had their windows open. As we walked up we heard someone yell. "It's the church people!" We knocked and they opened the door and said their mom was gone. So we left and heard "it worked!". 
FRIDAY:
We had a mission wide training and our service was terrible.😕 As a portion of the training we were sent into break out rooms where one companionship role played and the other was roleplayed too. We were the ones role-played too. So my companion loved Jesus and I was an atheist from Ireland. But our service died so we couldn't get into the roleplay. I was just slightly disappointed about that. Plus the elders seemed pretty prepared so we felt bad the roleplay was cut short.
SATURDAY:
We were able to go to Women's Conference if we brought a friend! Sadly the friend canceled but we were already there so we stayed. ðŸ¥². And it was very fun, we also found someone we could refer to Elders in a different area which was fun.
SUNDAY: Happy Mothers Day! We had a family home evening with the ward. There were 3 people there. But it was still fun and we had a good lesson. I also got to call my mom which was awesome!
MONDAY: I wrote this. We also went to a Peace Pagoda which is a Buddhist Temple. It was soo pretty and peaceful.  (Pictures are attached of the Peace Pagoda and women's conference).

Thanks for all your prayers!
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...
