UPDATE FROM SISTER MARTIN🌅🏞️🌊
Week 69 - God's stamp🌊🌅🏞
Kaatahi te rangi aataahua 🩷! Updates whanau!
This week taught me A LOT! I've been reflecting on my time here and how the Lord has blessed me in SO many ways! This week we had highs and lows in the work and I've been learning a lot about “divine intervention” and trying!
Every single day of this transfer is literally gold to me, tbh I'm making the most out of it. I can't believe in a few weeks the badge is off! This week we've been experiencing A LOT of things - the work is good, it's just not consistent at ALL.
Anyways we're teaching a lot of Filipinos here which is tender mercies, so we have friends who are family that we’re teaching. They speak same dialect as me which is cool they are lovely and have lots of questions about the gospel. So while talking to them I really can’t communicate very well. My Iloko and Tagalog are broken (pasensya na po😅) and I've been grasping what words to utter. But tbh the spirit did all the work especially with all the questions they asked🤧🫣. I was literally cooked (kasi kasama ko di naman alam magtagalog so ang bagsak ako lahat) but definitely guided as I testify and teach them! HAHAHA
Anyways every single day I've been grabbing whatever opportunities to share my conversion story and my testimony of the gospel. Days we're slow but weeks we're so fast. From 3 digits down to 2 coming to 1 😱😵
Not funnnnn……..
Also I strained my neck while playing sports, it's painful and SO sore. It's even hard to move and look on my side, it is literally terrible. Anyways y’all dont play too hard, that is definitely one thing i learned HAHAHA
Miraclessssss!
Anyways while visiting one of our dots we knocked on the door and the son answered while standing outside “are yous the new missionaries?” I was taught by the missionaries before and I almost got baptized but because of the covid I fell off track and never came back. While he was sharing the story one thing came to mind was to grab his information and time to return. It is SO cool to see how God works in His divine intervention. Even if it's a slow day or hard days he guided us to the people He wanted us to see.
Also this week we had the opportunity to do some service with our favorite grandma Sister K, we stacked all her woods and fixed everything in there. It's SO fun and hot! We love being with her, listening to her stories and also just being around her - the vibes are SO good.
Crazyyyy Friday
While doing our service with our friend we had so much fun listening to her stories, while cutting and cleaning the gardens and helping her out in whatever she needs. I love gardening and I LOVE being around with members🫶
A lot of crazy things are happening here.
Someone threw an egg in our car and it was in a random place. My patience actually went on HAHAHA
