so this week was pretty sweet, alot of things to update you on. so i did in fact get transfered ... i am leaving on a jet plane dont know when ill be back again.... was my them song this week. i am now in Okinawa. i made my way down to a smaller island. I am in Futenma, right by an American base. Yesterday i attended church twice once in english and once i japanese! its crazy its like reverse culture shock. its weird. haha. so yes we work with both wrads, we only work through referals from the military and thats it. but its been pretty cool, it hasnt stopped raining sence we got here. its humid and not too hot yet so its ok, but it will get there soon. pretty crazy news eh? well it doesnt end. My new companion is Elder Lyon, He lives in morgan Utah and his last area was The provo MTC. haha im so stoked for this transfer. im way excited. its been a little weird, im in 4 man aprt and Elder Nokes is here to, he was in the same aprt as me when i was a bean, so its been nuts, time is flying. it wasnt to long ago, i was a bean, and now my companion is a bean. Its crazy! where is time going. Elder Mergist is also here and hes from my mtc district so its a cool set up. so yea im stoked for this transfer.
so weve been working hard these past 4 days getting used to the area and giving some streeting and housing practice to Elder Lyon. its sweet. he has bean power. haha we went housing the other night, i let him start the contact, showed her the book of mormon and asked her if she wanted to see it,. he gave a simple testimony and i felt the spirit strong, she didnt look like she was interested. i then just told here exactly how it was, that elder lyon had just got to Japan this week, and her heartv changed 180 degrees. She was way impressed. we explained the book of mormon a little more and she wanted to read it. this is just one of the few miracles weve seen already. we have some really promising potential investigators and some lessons already set up this week, im way excited for this transfrer as you can prob tell, we are going to work hard and see some sick miracles, poor Elder lyon falls asleep the second his head hits the pillow haha i remeber those days, I really do miss miyazaki. it was pretty hard when the plane took off from Miyazaki, But the lord has another calling for me, and im excited for that.
well it was great to talk to everyon on th phone. next time will be christmas, wow a lot will happen before then eh? well take care, have a good week! love your son elder martinez
