Transfers!!! Mission week 25 (03/25/24) begining 4th transfer

Yoooooo Transfers!!! This is crazy! I am moving for the first time! I have only ever really known alla 2 in central Curitiba for my time here in Brazil. It was amazing! I have many many amazing experiences and made some amazing friends that became like my family here. I am gonna miss them, but I am excited to continue on and help even more new people! I am now in Ponta Grosso! in Jardim Verona! and my new comp is this dope guy named Elder Santos! He is super good at Futebol, and he already has 20 months on the mish so now I will be working with basically a seasoned warrior and I am excited to learn a ton and continue to grow! he doesn't speak english either so that is good! I will learn a ton more portugues. Last week one funny thing that happened was an elder in my district had his hair cut by his comp... that did not go well. He basically gave him the edgar cut which does not work with mission standards. It was soo bad but pretty funny. I offered to help him and I ended up fading him up and saving his hair. LOL Sanir was baptized! and we reactivated her Husband to baptize her! was super special and awesome! The same day we went to the temple with our recent converts, my good friends Marcio and Gabriel and it was an awesome experience! Before I left here on my last day we marked a Baptismal date! and left tons of people ready too! a good way to go. Random stuff -I bought a 9 kilo dumbell -my comp split his pants -Received miracle references ready for baptism -Miracle, Mary and her daughter and granddaughter want to be baptized out of nowhere, it really was the spirit working not us, super cool. -Christopher wants to be baptized soo bad but his parents wont let him, please pray for him! -people thought i was 27 years old -Last area I gave out BOM's in 4 languages, Portugues, Espanhol, French, English. -Discovered my new bag can hold 15 BOM's easily - There was a dope show that was kinda huge, it was the singers of the youth music in Portuguese, and all of Curitiba was there! we didn't get to stay but we popped in, said hi to investigators and dipped. from what we saw and the videos people took it looked like a super dope show, and it was at our chapel! - My comp uses pins to keep his shirt secured tucked in his pants... the other day he sat down and got pinned straight in the butt, super painful but hilarious hahaha. Super busy day today and the work is ready to go here. It was sad and hard to leave my good friends in Alla 2, I love that ward and area and will forever be in my heart. but i am also excited to keep moving forward helping more people and growing! This letter is a little shorter than the essay I normally write lol. I was short on time today so I summed it up See yall next week! God is Good! God is Great! -Elder Martin https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZYjR28Ehi9siAcjK9

Mission week 50. (09/16/2024) First week here in Ahú Curitiba!  My new Comp here "Elder Siebra" is litt! it is funny cuz i knew him already from a bit earlier on in the mish, but this was during the time when i was a bit annoying lol, but we are super chill now. We are like two buddies just doin God's work and so it is super fun! We both really like music too so it is a good way to connect. He knows a lot and actually studied music before the mission. He also knows how to Play the guitar! which is littt and we both play the guitar and he is teaching me how to do and play a few things! I love music, it is super powerful and... is also something that we can share with other people. We had a cool family night with an awesome member family! they planned it and said our part was just to say the prayers, and give a special musical number... (nobody knows yet that we like music and stuff so it was a surprise) So my comp played the Guitar and I sang "Amazing Grace." It ...

First Attempted Armed Robbery!   Guys I want you all to note that I am now training and it was the very first week of the new guy, my comp. and it has been an exciting wild first week on the mission for him, hahahaha. (Also lots of things happened... so it's a long one this week)   Alrightyyy! My new comp that I am training is awesome!!! Elder Eastin is a Dawg! I picked him up Monday and found out that we must have crossed paths a few times before the Mission because he is from Kamas Utah!!! Right where my cabin is at! So he lives there, knows all the trails, lakes, and much more! We have gone to the same ward up there too! So he of course loves Fishing, Hunting, Hiking, Dirt Biking and stuff like that so we get along pretty well and easily. It's been a pretty normal good start of the week and found great people, taught great people. Had great Experiences. Here are the random notes of the week:  - Thiago owns a super good bakery and so when he met the new Elder he g...

Mission Week 8

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL! Wow it has been a  week , felt like a month haha. We have done soo many different things and talked to hundreds of different people.  Now I have been in my Official area for a  week  in Ala 2. First day here i met this super cool dude, He is a member and his name is Thiago. I am convinced that he is one of the 3 Nephites. This man is awesome. He speaks perfect english and even has lived in Utah a little bit. He has recently become super involved and pretty much always trying to do everything he can do to help the missionaries and participate in the work. He regrets not going on a  mission  so he is basicaly serving unofficialy alongside us working as a member. He will always show up in neihborhoods we usually walk through and ask where we are so he he can help. He even took it a step further and rented a car for 2 days and took us to the far corners of our area to try to talk to people there becuase it is an hour or so walking time...
