Trees!!!! As well as lots of threes! - September 12, 2022

 Hello everyone! I hope y'all are doing so good! 


Here we are with Kara


TUESDAY:
So we head over to a friend's lesson and normally there are 3 people there Brian, Katie, Doug plus a three year old. Well this lesson we had no 3 year old and two other adults from the neighborhood joined the lesson instead. And we were able to set up another lesson with one of them as well so that was awesome🥳

FRIDAY:
We did a good amount of of finding and we also had some amazing lessons with members! 

SATURDAY:
Miracle time! There was a festival inn a town near Geneseo so being the missionaries we were, we decided to go! And on the way down to the festival there were some people moving trees into a truck so we offered to help and once we finished went on our merry way (important side note, the guys name was James and we helped him and his girlfriend. He had another friend, Ben in the trees whom we had not met at this point). We continued on to the festival and met some great people, even handed out a Book of Mormon! 

Then we jumped in our car to head home, when we get a call from a unknown number. So this guy says I have your number and we have a second want to come down? (As missionaries we hand out a lot of pass-a-long cards) so it could have been anyone.  So me and my companion head to this person's house slightly confused. Low and behold it was James' friend who had called us, the one in the tree, His name was Ben! So we spent about an hour there answering questions about how missions worked as well as our experiences in the church! We were also able to explain Book of Mormon and prophets. We left them both with a Book of Mormon and are going to call them later this week!

Also the lesson/contact was amazing but during it I was wearing a long skirt. And I felt something on my knee under the skirt. So I tried to grab it and... it was a Bee, there was a bee under my skirt!😱😰, which did sting me. And so I had to sit there let it go and hope it would eventually from under my skirt. Eventually it did but... Word of Wisdom for future generations, Never ever hold a bee especially while with people.

Also we were able to find someone else! He seems very interested and we gave him a pamphlet. He speaks Spanish so any suggestions for quickly learning Spanish?

SUNDAY:
Church was amazing! We got to join YW this week and it was one of the funnest and most chaotic YW sunday classes I had had in awhile. 
We also had a lesson with Kara who is always a highlight of my week! She is so sweet and it's to see how much she is truly beginning to understand! And she has mentioned feeling the spirit more as we have lessons!🥳

Love to you All,
Sis 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...
