Oh my glory people! This has been a week!!!
But i need to start with the wildest news every GUESS WHO MOVED INTO MY AREA????????
RYAN AND BINA AHHHHHHHHH THEY’RE BAAAACKKKK!!!!! WOW God must really know i need them in my life!!!
Anywho …..
Also i never knew but if your wondering oregon has sooooooo many squirrels its crazy so ya
Tuesday was a day… we were running around all morning because all of our lessons were like on opposite sides of the area heh! We had District council and we are the only sisters and we have 4 elders and they are a bit contentious so we’re making plans on how to help our district out lol they need some fr help!
Wednesday hmm we had a lesson with our friend on date Amirah! Shes awesome!
Thursday oh my goodness! This day was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. For zone conference we had a general authority come visit our mission! Elder David P. Homer! And part of this, president chooses like 5 missionaries out of all 3 zones to have an interview with Elder Homer! And the night before i got a call from president asking if i would meet with him! So Thursday morning i met with elder homer and the Spirit hit me like never before! He said everything i needed to hear and i was just overwhelmed by the love that i felt from him and from God! It was such a cool experience! Then we had the regular zone conference and it was also just sooooo good like the whole day was just filled with the spirit! Urgahhh it was such a good day! I wrote like 8 pages of notes!!!!
Friday we were walking in down town salem in an alley way thingy (sounds safe doesnt it lol :0) and this dude in a garage stopped us and was talking to us and he told us he sings and so he asked if he could sing for us and we said ya and so he full throttle sang it was wild peep the google photos for a video of it lol (found out later he is a super less active member lol)
Saturday was a longg day! Lots of knocking doors and calling people but we went and got sandwiches for lunch whoot whoot
Sunday was such a good day! We had church!!! It was actually great meetings so thats good!! And we had dinner with the elders and some members so it was a gooooood time! And we had a lesson with vickie. her house smells awful we choked the whole time… she said next time she will give us a porcelain doll so we will always remember her….
Anywho good day

Im not sure if I’ve shared this scripture before or not so i hope not lol! But at the end of Ether 12:6 it says, “…for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.” And i think this is just soooo cool but also sooo hard because we need those moments where we are a bit shaken up on the play to have that witness of the miracles God brings. This is kind of whats playing out in my mission, like the beginning of this transfer has been rough (seems like they always are heh) but what Elder Homer told me and what I felt at zone conference was a witness of Gods miracles to me. Sometimes it seems like the trial of our faith lasts forever but because of Jesus Christ our best days are ahead and our witness of Him will come!!!!! Just keep going
Ok love you bye!
Sister Martin out
