Week 64

Well this this letter is going to be small and short, cause I don't have much to say..

Its been a long week, but week one of a transfer always is! 

Also, we have done more tracting in 3 days then I usually do in a week! So that's always a good way to slow things down!

We have had almost NO success in our finding efforts, at least not to a greenie, I remember when I came out I thought we would be teaching people all over the place, but that does not really happen in this mission, and it can kind of be depressing when you first get out.

We had one guy that we set up a return appointment with, we went there today at the time we set up, and he wasn't there! Well.. He didn't answer the door... NOT GOOD FOR MY BABY SON!! So, that's lame,

BUT! Both my baby children are doing great there first week in the field! I will send you family Picture next week! Maybe!

I love you, I hug you! Amen!

Elder CamCam Martin!

Week 63

Ok, again, been a quick week, and a sad one, saying how on the back of my mind the whole week, I knew some changes where coming, and not the kind I wanted to see..

Wednesday was the ward Halloween party, and it was a good time, a lot of non members came, and that was awesome! we handed out a few Book of Mormon, and all kinds of pass along cards.

We then were asked to judge the costume contest, AND I HATE THAT STUFF! I will never have to do it again though, so that's good! 

Friday we met with our mission President... I was the first of the day to meet with him, and got ALL the news for my district for transfers. He told me ALL the sisters were staying, Shocking! But that was not all! No sisters are leaving, but we are getting one, The Waveland sisters will be a trio and will be training.. And then President Mcdonough broke my back! By taking form me my back bone and companion Elder Mobley, with no other Elders in the district, it was me and him against the world down here! And now, now he leaves me! And who takes his place? A greenie! A brand new, right out of the MTC Elder, WHY!?!?!   Despite my many pleas to Pres Mac to reconsider, the decision was already made, and I will be left with no one in my district to turn to when I sick of sisters, or members that say they are going to take us out but then do not! OR BIKING! My only hope of living through this transfer is getting a guy that came out pre-trained, (not a know it all) and is not at all in any way going to cause me any more stress then I already will have being a trainer and a DL over FIVE SISTERS! OH how I pray P-MAC has mercy one me! And send me a greenie that will not be the end of me! 

Anyway, the rest of the week has been spent holding back tears! Getting stabbed in the ARM! Helping a young man with his Eagle project! A BLOOD DRIVE! 

And getting pictures with the great members of the ward while Elder Mobley (and maybe ME CAUSE I'LL DIE!) says his goodbyes!

One of said family pictures we got was with the Bishops family, The Grovers! THE FAMILY OF THE FUTURE! I love this family, we had dinner with them Sunday night. and right before we left! Sister Grover came up with the GREAT IDEA!!! To gather her family around the piano and sing "God be with you till we meet again" WORST! SONG! TO EVER SING! EVER! When someone is leaving! Darn that family DARN THEM!! Elder Mobley teared up a bit, I almost did! BUT I'M TO MANLY FOR THAT!! 

Anyway, other good times this week include but are not limited to! Giving all kinds of blessing! like, an abnormal amount.. Kinda weird, BUT GOOD STUFF!

And a very "thank goodness investigators never come to church here" Fast and testimony meeting.. One lady informed us all that "When you bare your testimony, your sins are forgiven!" she then repeated herself just in case someone missed her sacrilegious statement the first time around.. 

Then a lady went up and gave a talk! She even had notes! It lasted about 10 minutes...

There were a few more "What the?" moments so I sent Elder Mobley up there to bring back the spirit while also reminding everyone how to bare a testimony, which usually involves.. a testimony... And really nothing else.. 

WELP! This letter has been WAY to long for the likes of an Elder Martin! SO! I hope i will still be alive to say hi next week!

I love you, I hug you, Amen!

LOVE!

Elder CamCam Martin! 

Week 62

WELP! Another quick week down, and only ONE TO GO! For the transfer, kinda crazy, gone by way too fast, I don't like that..

I hope I stay here, which is odd for me, I never hope for that, but I love this area, and this ward, It is my HOME! I have only been here 2 transfers, so odds are I will stay, The odds are ever in my favor!

Our boy Terrance has yet to come to church... LAME! We didn't even get to see him this week, we only tried once though, the week FLEW by, just past me by.. We were doing some back breaking service on Saturday, and out of no where I was like "OH MY GOODNESS ITS SATURDAY!!" I don't recall most the week.. 

The weather has been getting better..ish, The mornings are nice, so that's good, the rest of the days are hot though, not good! 

We have been talking to this guy, Bro Smith, he is not a member, but his wife is, I may have mentioned him before, he is kind of a PUNK! But we are just trying to get past that hard exterior! And have been talking to him quite a bit, still a punk so far..

WELP I don't really have anything else,

LOVE!

Elder CamCam Martin!
