letter sent 12.07.09: konshu
aisuru kazoku to tomadachi,
this week has been crazy, little long but good. we had zone conference in fukuoka, which was amazing. well the lesson with tsunenari did not go as planned, actually ended up being pretty frustrating but everything is ok, on a better note, i did see a miracle this week to start of the christmas holidays. i think i told you last week about a lesson we had with brother and sister kuroda. Sister kuroda has been inactive for some time now. and through our visit last time she came back to church yesterday. all we had to do is help her feel the spirirt and she remebered the happinees that can be felt only through this gospel. sometimes i think we can forget past experiences and get carried away. but im glad me and elder reyes could be there to help sister kuroda out. i was super excited when she came to church yesterday and all the members were surpsrised and they all fellowshipped her really well, they were happy to see her. It was no baptism or anything but probably one of the best things ive been able to be involved with on my mission so far. it was amazing.

so christmas is right around the corner. thats pretty hard to believe. i think it will be a hard and good christams all at the same time. it will be cool to be celebrating as a missionary of the lord, its going to be a special christmas but, im def going to miss all of you. but ill be ok.
well our zone conference was centered on Christ for Christmas. it was really good. one thing i would like to share is a message from Pres Margetts. he talked about giving a gift to jesus. prob something we should do everyday but this Christmas lets give a gift to Jesus. He gave us the greatest gift one can give, his life for us(greatest gift given, alma 7: 11-13). we cant repay him but we can give him a gift for christmas this year by serving someone else. a stranger, co-worker, a friend, a family member. It was a good thought something i want to work on this christmas!
well thats about it for me, enjoy the holidays,
love elder martinez
