Sister Reyes and I at the Laundromat/ice cream parlor haha with Alyssa, a recent convert

This was us, Sister Reyes and I, in the car wash :) I love the car wash when you don't have to do it yourself haha 

This is Saskatchewan. FLAT. But pretty. 

This is Sister Reyes and I. The sunset was so pretty so we stopped and took pics :) this was a tough day, but at least the sunset was pretty and my outfit was cute haha

This is me emailing you rightnow hahaha

Last week we didn't have time or money to dry our laundry at the laundromat so we had to run home with our wet laundry and throw it ALL OVER THE HOUSE to dry hahahaha in like 2 mins. It was crazy. But it all dried and we even saved a little change. haha. 

I love this guy :) It is helping us win the hearts of the members and some of the people we are teaching.

I felt pretty today :) 

So we have been taking cookies to families in the ward and singing to them with the uke :) We have rearranged i am a child of god, nearer my god to thee, joseph smiths first prayers, come follow me, and were working on amazing grace. So we have been including songs in a lot of our lessons and picking a song to sing when we take the cookies :) I think it is working :) i recorded us singing i am a child of god but i cant figure out how to send it to you because it is too big...

So there are sooooo many dandelions in the church lawn :) It is cute and soon there will be so many wish flowers :) 

This was when we went ice blocking for the YSA activity. There was one YSA person there and then us and the elders... haha small town.

Dear Family and Friends,

Sorry it has been a while! Things here in Moose Jaw have been going well. The area is making progress slowly but surely. It is still slow, but it's moving along. We have even been able to find some new investigators :)

This week we have really been focusing on gaining the trust of the members and developing relationships with them. So we have been stopping by and bringing cookies to some of the families and singing to them. Sister Reyes and I have been working on some hymns and primary songs on the ukulele that we could incorporate into our lessons. So we have been testing them out on the members. They seem to like it, and Sister Reye's famous cookies ;) She calls them heaven cookies. hahaha. I'd say it's close.

So we have been happy, it is starting to look like summer around here. And we are running out of our allotted kilometers so we are going to have to start walking everywhere. Thank goodness it is starting to warm up, but now we are going to be too hot! haha But such is life and we will grin and bear it :)

Well I hope you are all happy and well.
Love you lots,

xoxo
Sister Martin
