As much as I enjoyed Stake and General Conference and the Ogden Temple Re-dedication, I have been rather glad to see just "regular sundays" coming up for the next few weeks. It's hard to have church attendance when there's no church haha! That being said we didn't have too many of our investigators show up yesterday, which is a bit of a bummer, but things happen (e.g. a wedding and a hospital trip in the case of our two closest families). In any case we've found three new families to teach, two less actives and one part member, and if we can finally nail down appointments with all the people we've got, we'll be teaching like crazy. Teaching is great by the way. Teaching the recent convert lessons to Lita is so fun. Her family continues to do very well, and she's on top of everything.
We also got to see the "Meet the Mormons" movie in a chapel before it came out in theaters (a dual zone missionaries-only screening), and despite my original thoughts that it might be lame, it was actually way good! I recommend seeing it to everyone!
We also did a service project picking pumpkins for Hermano Guerra's farm again, it both got me into a Halloween mood and also got Smashing Pumpkins songs badly stuck in my head haha. Hope everyone has a great week!
-Elder Martin
The Lovely Old time Goshenite Jensen Family
I put hot sauce on everything now haha.
This is just from the past month or two.
Ah, being a Spanish Elder!
The Pumpkins we helped pick for Hermano Guerra.
We got to take some of our own home,
I took a weird one just to smash in honor of Smashing Pumpkins haha.
Elder Pena being a Jewish High Priest haha.
So, dinner last night with the Jewett Family, and Sister Jewett's mother was there. Her name is Sister Atkinson, born in Francis, Utah. My Great Grandmother (my Mom's father's mother) was an Atkinson from Francis, so we look it up, and what do you know - we're related, via my Great-Great-Great Grandfather Amos Stiles Atkinson. That's the second cousin of sorts of found in the area haha, of the joys of serving in your ancestral home of Utah haha.
