Elder Adam Martin
Brazil São Paulo Oeste Mission 1-2014
Elder Adam Martin is
beginning his last transfer (six week period) as a missionary in the Brazil São
Paulo West Mission. He will most likely finish his mission in the
Rochdale area. He returns home on March 11. He will speak in
Sacrament Meeting the following Sunday (March 16th) in the Plano 4th Ward at
11:00 AM. He will also be speaking Sunday the 23rd of March in the Wiley
Canyon Ward in Santa Clarita (Newhall), California. A little over a month
after he returns, Adam will resume his studies at BYU-Idaho. Adam is having a
lot of success in finding, teaching and baptizing people in his area. A
couple who were long time investigators were recently baptized. He has
another two people scheduled for baptism. In his district a few weeks
ago, every area had a baptism. Adam and his companion always celebrate
their baptisms by getting a chocolate stuffed crust pizza. He will miss
those when he returns. He will miss speaking Portuguese day in and day
out. He will miss the people of Brazil. He will miss the mission
life and doing the Lord's work 24/7, but does admit he is looking forward to
getting more sleep. The mission has been a great experience for Elder Adam Martin
UPDATE: Elder Adam Martin returned home on his originally
scheduled release date of January 29th. He is having some troubles with his back after
lifting a huge chest up multiple flights of stairs. He is getting the help he needs to feel like
his self. We are looking forward to him
speaking in Plano 4th ward sooner than the March 16th
date. We love you Elder Adam and are
glad you are home!

Mission 1-2014-2016
Sorry to be so late with this.
I have been out of town and was waiting last Friday (pday) to get a note
just for this purpose, but it didn’t come. Jacob is doing great and
LOVING the MTC. He is scheduled to fly to Manilla on Monday Feb 10.
He can’t wait. They had him teaching or trying to teach in his
language the first week in the MTC. He is very excited about being able
to wear sandals (wearing in picture) and Lava lavas on p-days. Funny
boy!!
