Mission week 40 (07/07/2024)



Happy birthday America, happy 4Th, and happy birthday to my bro!

Yoo, we hit 9 months, marked a million bap dates, met tons of people and found a bunch to teach. was a super solid week but no one showed up to church lol.

Started the week out with Futebol on Pday which was litt, but I hurt my ankle pretty bad... went home hurting and woke up the next day and couldn't walk on it or put any pressure on it. i was a bit worried about the days work so of course i said a quick prayer and it still hurt up to the moment we walked out the door and then it was completely fine somehow walking out onto the street with no pain. cool little miracle, cuz i thought i might’ve messed up my ankle like i had about a year ago on the same ankle. but all is good now! Gods helpin us out here!

AP's showed up to our house randomly on tuesday and have been running mini divisions with a ton of the Elders here in Ponta Grossa, first day was with us, then with everyone else. They just slept here for most nights which was litt. They are staying here till midway through this week too. They have basically said it is very likely that I will train next transfer. that's dope.

random stuff of the week:
-Marked 6 bap dates when we were doin the division with AP's cuz they wanted me to show them what i got if i can train. solid.
-I almost got eaten by a Fila Brasileiro (enormous dog) and a bunch of others, it was pretty funny to look back on but not in the moment lol.
-Grinding all week confirmed tons of people to church and got tons of Bap dates marked... but no one went to church cuz it is cold now.
- I learned that there are these groups apparently that exist on the mish, some of them are iniquity groups where they team up to do bad stuff so it's pretty bad, other groups team up to do good and just baptize more, so that's good.
- I found a finding and teaching code to filter through faster, and not waste time with people who won't progress cuz there are people ready, "white and ready to harvest" as the scripture says.
- The spirit activity has been working with us, guiding me from the wrong scripture to choose the right one for a new family which was cool cuz me and my comp didn't talk but found the same scripture to share.
- Worked with the youth, brought them to the road to invite strangers to church, was super cool! seeing their courage.
- The fast this last sunday was full of temptations it was kinda wild how much there was.
- learned a phrase... my comp said that because i have been doing good President will now give me a really big pineapple.... with this phrase i will not explain, if you know you know.

Solid week, full of work, not much sleep, so we are tired. and cold haha. but results will come. we will find those people, we will help those people learn about the gospel and be baptized.

God is Good! God is great!


Until next week, Tchau!

-Elder Martin

Mission week 50

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...
