Merry Christmas!

Bonjour tous le monde!


This week has been great. Nothing particularly new to report, but we found a few new people to teach which was awesome. Especially when we find them at night. It gets dark super early here so people really don't want to talk when it gets to be past 8 or so. So when we found 3 people after 8 in the last couple days it was pretty motivating.
We went caroling with the Sisters again this week, but out in Freeport and not inside a mall. This time we didn't get kicked out! Plenty of people seemed to appreciate the caroling and there were a few who seemed annoyed with it but I though it went quite well.
I spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday on the topic of grace. I had to make sure I did a good job, because President Blair was in the audience. That put a little more pressure on me, but the good type of pressure. We also had interviews for my first time in the field. It was a very good experience and I learned a lot. President Blair has been in the mission for almost 3 years so he definitely knows what he's doing and had a lot of great advice.
I really appreciate the kind words and support from everyone back home. You all are an awesome support group!
Merry Christmas! and remember what the true spirit of Christmas is.
Elder Martin
