hello everyone.
this week has been another good one and has flown bye. weeks do go by really quick its incredible. and thanks for all the letters as usual. i love to hear from everyone. well there were lots of good things happen this week but i will just talk about a few. first is sadanaga san. hes our new investiogator you conatcted us ata stoplight three weeks ago and has been to chruch twice since then. he is doing really. well its amazing . we have had some good lessons with him lately. he does everything we ask him. It really cool to work with people like that.Hes a nice man of about 40. its just especially cool to see the lords hand in this work. Its cool to see people that we are lead to and people that are led to us. i love being able to wittness thes miracles everyweek as we are constantly meeting new people. i love it.
As for tsuda hes having trouble with smoking still but has a testimony so its been really hard. weve postponed his baptism again till Trevor and kristens big day the 17th of march ( the real date is March 26) so i pray he will stop smoking by then. hes had some concerns and doubts lately too so say a prayer for him. Tsuda is a way good person. hes classic.haha so i hope so bad that he can make this next baptismal date.
Next is the hayashi family. they are so awesome. They are investigators. i love visiting them and reading an praying with there shcildren there so funny and the all love the missionaries and love to pray. I love working with them and feeliong the love thats in there home. I want nothing more than for them to becaome an eternal family. they are perfect. reminds me of all of you. this week i shared a spiritual message using my min mag light haha thanks dad. we turned out the lights and read mosiah 16 verse 9 together under the candle lick flashlight. it was cool. a simple but powerful message. the lord is our light and will be there in all times of darkness that come our way. he is a light that cannot be put out. and endless source of light.he is our savior. he is the reason.
Another hioghlight ios working with a another family the Kikuchi. The mother is a recent convert and they have the coolest 5 year old daughter, sakura. there an amazing family as weel. they want to go the temple and are taking preperation classes. This week i made a little card for them with the salt lake city temple on it and wrote a little message. I was able to go visit them with our zone leader (who was here ion miyazaki at the timeof her baptism). Weshared a quick message and testified of the the temples of the lord. i showed them my favorite picture of all of us in front of the oaland temple and was able to testify of the power and sacredness of the temple. I will never forgot the oppurnity we had to fgo to the temple together before i left and cant wait for the oppurtinuites that will be present in the future. I love the temple. i know families are eternal and greatful for this previlige i have to share this message with families in Japan. this is truly the greatest work on the earth.. the lords work.
thanks for your love and support. untill next week
Love, Elder Martinez
