S8E4: "You can't not steal what is not mine" (5-29-23)

 Dear family and friends, 

Things I am grateful for

-Sister Giordano gave me an emo Hawaiian necklace 

-I felt like we should knock on Jaden's door; however, it would be really awkward. We did it anyways and it wasn't smooth at all but his mom talked with us and Jaden for an hour. We read her Moroni 6:5-6

"That is why you came here! To give me that verse!"

- I have gotten a lot better at biking!

- Rosie got good new from the doctor.

- I got a really good blessing that told me to teach whereever I go.

- My cute blue fanny pack

- I am happy that we are studying the new testament this year. I am learning more about the Messiah and we can easily invite our friends to church

- We met a lonely guy name Harry that doesn't believe in God. He was very nice and we follow a prompting to go back and invite him to hear me speak in church. I told him I was very nervous and he sympathized. He thanked us for inviting him and said he felt part of the team. 

- We met this cool member family that has fun homeschool vibes. I got to tell them my celebrity crush is Nathaniel Bowditch and they thought it was very funny.

- Cockatoo are so cute! Kate and Joan, you should definitely buy one. 

It's sad how many members who are inactive just haven't been visited by members of the church. Us stopping by as missionaries is not very effective. They are friendly and miss the community—but we are missionaries! We come and go. These people need friends. If there is someone you miss seeing at church. Stop by and say hi. Extend love. Be a peacemaker. 

I love you all and I am do grateful I get to be a representative for the Lord,

Sister Martin

P.S Being in a biking and car area is the best and I am finally using all that sunscreens I have been given 😂

P.P.S say prayers for Jaden and Sophia!
