Many Martinez's

March 4 - 10, 2013

MONDAY - A good pday, we got everything done and didn't have to shop. We headed to the office to get a new dvd player and then headed to the Museum downtown. It was pretty sweet! I got some good pictures and such, after we went to eat at Wingstop and then we headed back. We got to the apartment and got a call from a member saying her husband was going in for surgery and needed a blessing. The Martinez family haha so I quickly glance at the address and its 521. We get on our bikes and hurry down there and elder Trover asks me what number it is and I say "121..?" So we knock on the door sweating and breathing hard and say "we are here to give the blessing" hahaha, of course its a really pretty girl and she just giggles and says "what?" So I say, "is this the Martinez family?" and she replied yes! hahaha it just so happened to be another Martinez family, she let us right in and she went to talk to her parents and came back and said no one had called for a blessing haha. So we just stood there awkwardly and then apologized and left and gave the blessing to hermano Martinez. :)

TUESDAY - Today we had our zone meeting from 9 to 12 and then went to Cicis pizza... not a good idea! We were all starving though! We went and ate, I got a call from the mission office and they said to go to the dmv asap. So we got back and I was not feeling too hot, so we layed down till dinner at 5 with the serranos. It was a crazy trail there, through grass, rocks, and bumps. By the time we got to dinner elder Trover had 11 goat heads in his tire... elder Witbecks beach bike? Invincible. After dinner we came out to find both his tires completely flat. We got a ride to our appointment which canceled and then elder Dominguez came and got us and we went to wal mart to get some tires.

WEDNESDAY - Elder Trover thought he bought two tires but only bought one haha so we had to go back in the morning to get another one. We came back and went to work and then the zls came by to get some pencils and after we tried one more and then had an early dinner. We spoiled ourselves and cooked fajitas and had Mexican Cokes! most amazing meats ever!!! We also went to the library to sign up for justserve.org and find service places. We dropped cookies off to the Martinez family we barged in on haha and then went and visited hno Martinez who was in pain! We then visited a part member family and taught a little bit of the plan of salvation.

THURSDAY - We planned all day. Took a break for dinner and then went to English classes where no one showed up!

FRIDAY - We kept planning, we called a food pantry and I asked for service and the girl started freaking out saying she couldn't let us come do service because we didn't believe in Christ and that she would be denying God and she said she would pray I would find the right path. Really rude. Some baptist church, I just said we wanted to help, I didn't discuss religion. But she proved she had developed very strongly the attributes of Christ. I also spent all day trying to get a stinking photo id! It was a joke. We did have a sweet lesson with another part member family.

SATURDAY - Basketball in the morning was good. I had a streak where I scored 8 straight points and there was nothing anyone could do about it. But then I missed a lot as well haha. We went up by 5 every game or 6 but then stopped. It was fun though. I was drop step dunking it so I'm just glad thats still there. We came back and visited a few families and then had dinner at pollo regio. Then we went out in the rain and it felt way good, it was just kind of misty and warm. We visited a few people before calling it a night.

SUNDAY - Good sabbath. We had to ride to the church in our suits for a meeting and then had to wait after sacrament for president Gomez to have fajitas at his house. we got back way late though and just got numbers and hit the sack.
