Super Cool Elder Martinez

Lunes:

Nuevo Cambio Nuevo Compañero

Elder Martinez is super cool companion. He has a ton of energy is always looking to have a good laugh. Super great missionary too. He knows how to work and how teach very well. Also played professional soccer before his mission too, which is sick.

Martes:

We had to head to the city center today to get Elder Martinez's ear checked out. He cant hear out of it and he feels a dull pain. Turns out that he has an infection in his ear they took out a whole bunch of gunk out of his ear and gave him some medications to take throughout the week. Please pray for him so that he can feel better. We talked with the Recent Converso named Luis today about his studies. He has a ton of work so we are trying to help organize his schedule so that he can keep reading the scriptures and feeling the spirit. We also had the opportunity to have a Noche de Hogar with a member and her non member husband. He is super Catolico but we are hoping to gain his trust so that can progress a little bit more.

Miercoles:

Today we got to eat with Hma Canaán again today. She is the member he gave us patitas de pollo the last time we ate with her. The food was super good we ate alot of chicken and sopa that all tasted pretty good. We also were abe to teach a few lessons with Hermana Luz about staying true to her faith as she tries to convince her husband to get married so that she can be baptised. We also taught the family de Oscar

Jueves:

We taught Emerica and Humberto again today, but I dont know how we can help them. Emericas dad does not want her to get baptised. Also he is not living in Tehuacan, but apparantley he is going to return in Mayo. We are going to keep on working with them to see if they progress. We also decided to head out to un "pueblote" named Mihuatlan of about 9000 people. We got super lost over there looking for directions, but we are going to head back with a member one day because it has a lot of potential. We then went to go give a blessing to some members in the area of Libertad, but the hermanas were not there to guide us so we went to the wrong members house. We showed up at the restuarant named Kachito Mio and all of them were like "oh sure I need a blessing". It was super funny that night learning that they were not the members that needed the blessing.

Viernes:

Today Hma Wendy couldnt host us in her house so she brought us takeout chinese food which was super good. We taught Luis again about the chapters he read in the beginning of the Libro de Mormon. We also taught a exmisionero who is menos activo named Omar. We are trying to reactivate him and find out why he cant go to church other than he his busy.

Sabado:

We taught Hma Veronica a menos activo about how she can gain a answer agian mediante leyendo las escrituras y oracion. We ate with Oscar Brito and we had a great time joking around with him. We taught the menos activo Familia Garcia Rodriguez, but they still seemed closed off for some reason. We are trying to find the reason why they dont go to the capilla.

Domingo:

We set another Fecha with Francisco for this next saturday this General Conference had a huge impact on him. He seems more confident about the church and we hope we can prepare him well for this saturday. We also had the oportunity to sing hymns for 91 year old member here in Tehuacan to help animarle. She is super funny and active for her age she reminds me of Grandma Jackie.

Anyways sorry that there arnt any fotos my camara doesnt seem to be working. I hope you all have a fantastic week. keep killing it up there

Love you all

Elder Thompson
