The New Year - Jan 2, 2023

Happy New Year!



                                          This is a pretty waterfall in Super Cold New York!

WEDNESDAY:

We met this really awesome lady her name is Angel. Apparently she is familiar with the church but really wants to learn more which is amazing! Sadly she wants to hold off till summer though so we'll see. We also had a good lesson with Brother Allen! Bev couldn't quite make it😭 but it was still good.

THURSDAY: 
We had some good lessons with some of our members! We also got to go to service which is always fun! Then as a belated Christmas meal some of our members took us out for lunch. It was very good!

FRIDAY:
We got to serve! One of our members is an older lady so we helped her dust her living room! It was a lot of fun! She had this case of tiny cups and statues that were so cute! I was scared of losing something while I dusted it though. We also had a good call with someone named Deloris!

SATURDAY:
We got notified that we were going to teach primary this week so we planned for that! It was really fun. We decided to do a little bit of a treasure hunt for a picture of Jesus. Though I did find out I was terrible at making clues, took me three tries plus my companion on number three😂 but third times the charm! We also meet with an inactive member, Sister Weatherly who was so sweet! She was showing us the certificate of when she went to the temple and got sealed to her husband, which was very cool! 

SUNDAY:
We had a friend to church!🥳 it was amazing and she seemed to enjoy it, she even joined us for primary! The primary lesson went well! We jumped a lot and spun!😅 

We also went to visit Mary Austin and we had this great conversation and at the end we asked if we could say a prayer and with the straightest face she said no. And we're like, well, um.(in our heads) and then she grinned at us and we were able to say a closing prayer, it was so funny! 

Love,
Sister Martin



-so we have Sidney Rigdon's grave in our area and we got to go see it! Super cool!

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...

Horses and Bowling - August 29, 2022

 Hello! MONDAY: So each week we have a lesson with this cute member family. And this week we got all set up for a lesson and one of their friends knocked on the door and asked if they could play. And the members invited him to the lesson! We were able to have a great lesson with the members and their friend it was awesome! WEDNESDAY: We met the cutest girl named Kara today. She is so sweet and so excited to come closer to Christ! She also brought her friend with her. We were able to have a great lesson and give Kara a Book of Mormon. We were knocking this one road and we had passed this house but it kept nagging at me. So eventually we went back and we were able to explain part of the restoration and give him a Book if Mormon! It was such a testament to me of how God is in the details and how the spirit will direct us if we are listening! THURSDAY: We were able to have a great lesson with someone! Sadly they are in another missionaries area so we had to refer him, but hopefully he ...

There was a festival inn a town near Geneseo so being the missionaries we were, we decided to go!

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 h...
