Hello Family,
How are you?
This week we went on
exchanges and then a few days later got a call from the sisters saying to not
freak out, but their ward had a breakout of lice. They said we needed to come
get it checked immediately. Then we realized we had borrowed the elders bikes after
the exchanges. So then we had to call the elders cause we had to wear the
helmets (don't worry we put paper towels in them). Six missionaries getting
checkd for lice on a Friday night=party. Siiiiiiick. No worries, I am
clean!!! Thank goodness.
In other news,
transfer calls came. I will officially be staying/dying in Alamo. However,
Sister Olsen will not. She get surprise transfer call Saturday morning,
she is going to Oakland 9th, which is inner city, where I used to do exchanges.
She is really lucky, that will be an awesome last area. She also got released
as Sister Training Leader. I am getting a new companion on Tuesday, Sister
Goddard. She has been out almost 9 months, and will be another Sister
Trainer Leader with me, so basically I have to train her up as STL, so
President had to separate Sis Olsen and I ( alot of the leaders are leaving
next transfer with me). But from what I have heard, Sister Goddard will
probably be training me, she is a fireball and a hard worker, so Alamo will
only continue to get better.
One of our less
actives is really starting to love our lessons and the Spirit he is feeling. He
is a personal football coach/trainer that played for Cal Poly and helps kids
now. We had to go to the football field at the local high school to teach him
one night. He had a football in one hand and The Book of Mormon in the other.
We had a great talk about Alma 32 and he said he believes Joseph Smith was a
prophet-"why wouldn't God call another prophet?" Amazing, we know
through his example, his nonmember wife and son will want to learn more.
I love feeling the
Spirit so much as a missionary. It always comforts and inspires me, and truly
is a companion. I know as we study the word of God daily and share the gospel,
we can all have the Spirit, the best feeling in the world, with us always.
Much Love,
Sister Martin
