Hola!
This week has been full of crazy snow and exchange-scheduling and rescheduling and all kinds of craziness! Here are some blips of the life!:
- Hermana Luisa is not progressing like we would love to see her being toward baptism right now. :( We'll keep seeing her and praying that she decides to make changes in her life to progress!
- We met with a sweet, elderly lady in our ward, Hermana Morales, who told us stories about a special experience visiting the Sacred Grove and becoming truly converted to the gospel after being less-active in the church for a long time. She catches the bus in front of her house to go to the temple in New York all of the time.
- We are teaching a less-active family with three cute kids who are in some real need of bonding through the gospel right now. They committed to letting us meet with them every Wed. We taught them the Plan of Salvation this week and we hope to see them progress and that the mom will not work on Sundays!
- I went on exchange in Morristown with Sis. Pearson, who had the same trainer as me- Sis. Nava! It was fun to see some of the little habits we both picked up from our trainer.
- We went to the bishop's home for dinner and had a chance to have a lesson with his daughter, who is a less-active college student. We gave them all ideas for how to do a family mission plan and we think the caught the spirit of it a little bit!
- Catalina is doing great, reading the book that the Relief Society gave her, as well as starting on her onling Family Tree and working toward having weekly Family Home Evening.
- We taught one of the young men who hasn't come to church recently. The Young Men President came with us and said that he would buy pizza if the kid came to the activity this week.
- We've been teaching a cute single, less-active mom who lives across the street with her 2-year-old and brand new baby, Paloma. She is starting to read the scriptures and even brought a friend to church last week! We walked to the hospital and saw her and her baby last month the day after she was born!
- We met some former investigators this week who seem great! Guess where they came in contact with the church?! At the Polynesian Cultural Center and Laie Temple in Hawaii! I was so excited when I heard that and I hope they will let us teach them more!
- Our awesome Uruguayan member family, made some mean empanadas for my me and my companion who was on exchange with me last night and we shared a lesson with them about repenting ourselves and meeting people to be able to share the gospel.
- We were let in last night to teach a family who is Pentecostal and got mostly through the Restoration last night and are planning on finishing it when we see them tonight!
Life is happy when you're busy in the work! I'm doing well and so grateful for all of the support I have! I love you all! Repent! Serve! Enjoy the blessings our Heavenly Father wants to give you.
Love,
Hermana Martin
