Another great week! This week is transfers, so we got fed by the ward more than normal which was awesome! One of the people we're teaching says that everything he learns helps his faith more because it clarifies questions he had before about the Bible and he is thinking about baptism now! A couple of our other investigators also seem to be going towards the same route.
One of our lessons this week was a little stressful. Last night we went to teach with the Sisters because they don't speak any French and somehow had arranged a lesson with a family that doesn't speak any English. They were giving us the usual objections about the Book of Mormon and that they already have a Bible and that was hard enough to explain with our broken French. But then the mission President called to tell us what's happening with transfers so Elder Ellsworth left to answer the call and we couldn't talk about it until after the lesson so that was distracting enough. Then the woman started breastfeeding her child and made no attempt to cover up. Somehow we were able to finish teaching and give them a Book of Mormon.
So we found out that Elder Ellsworth is transferring to Essex, Vermont. I will be staying in Portland and Elder Kunzler, another French speaker will be joining me. Together we will be training a brand new Portuguese speaking missionary from the MTC who's waiting on his visa to go who knows where. So that should be exciting and challenging.
Also I found something cool in the apartment that's been passed down by Elder's preceding me. In honor of Valentine's Day this week I'm sending missionary dating application in the photos. I just thought it was hilarious haha. Ladies...My addy is 144 Washburn Ave, Portland ME 04102
Love you all!
Elder Martin
