Week 81

Hey Howdy Hey!

So uhh, ya know how i said Elder Allen and I would be training?  Well, the Missionary we were going to train apparently went home from the MTC like right before they left on the plain out here... So its just us two now...

But other then that it's been a pretty good week.  The weather has been crazy, like every other day its either Super nice and in the 70's or super cold and windy and rainy and crummy.  

Okay, so get this...  My first time in murray last transfer i gave a talk in sacrament meeting.  And already next week we have to give talks... I'll have been to this ward 4 times and have given 2 talks...  Silly Murray.

We've been focusing alot of less actives as a zone this past week, so that's been good!  Already found a few who just needed 1 visit and said they'd come to church... They must've been getting prepared for a while if all they needed was a simple "Hey, how about that church?"

We have 2 people that should be getting baptized here soon, Jessi Phifer and Richard Floyd.  So i'm excited for that.  

Welp!! that'll be all for now

Love Ya'll

Week 80

Hello dear family!

Yes, I am finally going back to my area!  Back with elder Allen, but
elder Evans isn't gonna be there.  Instead elder Allen and I will be
training a new missionary.  So that should be pretty fun!  Well, only
unless the new guy is a total tool...  We'll see.

This week has been pretty good, did a good bit of service in the
colder days, so that's always great! The service, not the colder
days...

But yeah, this area has even pretty good to me, met a lot of cool
people, learned a good bit about a lot of things.  Oh and get this!
So there is a famous actress named Juliane Hough, she is apparently a
Mormon, but her sister who I think also may have been in some movies
is in this ward!!!  She's inactive, but still, I thought it was pretty
neat.

Welp, until next time!
Love y'all!!

Here's me last pday!  Taken from my iPad

 Here's me looking at a picture I painted one day for comp study :)

Week 79

Hello there!  So, as you may notice later on, I am writing from my
iPad!  Pretty stinking sweet.  So yeah, I finally had my interview
with president and got this bad boy.

In other news, this ward is sweet! It's pretty much as big as a ward
from Idaho or Utah.  Tons of younger people which marks it more fun I
guess.  So yeah, mostly all we've done here is meet with tons of the
members to get to know them, they really really focus on member help
here which is good.  We've done a good bit of service which is also
great, I love doing service.

They also do this church tour thing here which I thought is a great
idea! They invite non members and less actives to the church on like a
Thursday and just give them a tour.  But, you sneak in basically the
whole first lesson while doing it.  So it's pretty sweet.   Whelp,
until next time when I'll most likely be in a different area!!!

Love y'all!

Oh shoot son!!!

Week 78

Hey howdy hey!

So, Tomorrow we were supposed to have our interviews in Gallatin, but in true Elder Martin fashion, I got ETed again to Thompson Station where another elder had medical problems and had to go home. So i yet again get Jewwed out of an interview and my iPad...  Oh well.

So i don't have much to talk about... the people that we were teaching that i did happen to meet while in Gallatin all went to jail this past week, So that's a thing.  

  The weather was super great last week though... like Super great, 60's and low 70's and a tornado and stuff!

Oh, and i'm with Elder Cherry now.  He seems really cool so far, so it should be a good couple of weeks.

Welp, that's all i got folks.

Love Ya'll
