Indiana!!

Well, I am now at the top of the mission!

Woot! Woot!

I do miss the baby mountains and everyone I met down there but now is the time for a new adventure! And I'm going to make it one.

 

It still has it's charm. I'm just back in the city. Lots of people, lots of roads, busy, busy, busy.

Sister Gessel is my companion and she's fabulous!!

That's all for this week! Love you lots!

It's transfer day!

Another great transfer day when wonderful members feed this Missionary Mom super secret information.

Here is a wonderful text I got not long ago:

Hi Marlene. I was at transfer meeting and today and guess what? 

Yep, she's on the move again! She decided to take a selfie to send to you. I adore your daughter. She's collecting people again. I think it is equally fascinating and entertaining to watch her collect her little "band of campers." 

So, here's here new address:
5491 N. Clinton Street
Fort Wayne, IN 46825

And, of course...the selfie...

She also got to hang for a minute with Sister Low, the Sister Missionary with whom she worked in the office. Sister Low is heading back to Scotland (home!!) tomorrow. What a blessing to connect one more time. 

I also got the following text from an, as yet, unknown source. 

New Companions! Sister Giesel and Sister Martineau already love each other so much. 

I do love that I am also able to connect with people that mean so much to Sister Martineau. It has been a fun afternoon. 

Goodbye Kentucky!

Well if you can't tell by the Title, I'm getting transferred. To be honest, it doesn't feel like I've only been here a month and a half. I've made too many friends to be here that short a time. But hey, life is life right?

Some of my favorite moments in Kentucky...

Horseback Riding

The moments that remind me of home

And Sister Langitao

This transfer has been great and lots of fun! But now it's time to pack and continue the adventure! Who knows what's in store right? 

Hope you are all having lots of fun and can't wait to hear about all your adventures!

Another week in Kentucky!

There's not really much to say besides the fact that the trees are turning colors! That makes me happy!!

I've also thought that I should think about looking into photography when I get home...

But I have to say that my favorite part of it all is the fact that I'm driving a truck!

I realized that I forgot to send my address last week! Here it is for all you great people. 

62 Summit St Unit C

Flemingsburg KY 41041

I hope all of you are having adventures like I am! 

~Sister Martineau

Guess where I ended up?

Green wasteland, farms, cows, hills. It can only be one place KENTUCKY!! This is the view from our front porch looking towards town. 

The members out here are great. So far I've been loved on by their dogs, given a quilt for winter, and been loved by everyone we meet. 

(I found Hoagie!!!) 

And Muffy! 

But I think my favorite part is the fresh air. I forgot what that smelled like! Oh well, being in cities for a year will do that to you I guess. 

Hope you're all having adventures of your own!

Life as an Office Sister

Well, I haven't been too clear about what life is like as an Office Sister. So, I'm going to clear things up...We are still required to proselyte like other missionaries. But we also have 6 reports due each month for the various stakes (the information of which is completely dependent upon the Zone leaders) and 1 report for the phones as well as anything else that gets thrown at us.

Yeah...I'm learning how to deal with stress in an organized manner. Which is REALLY great for school/work/kids. Kinda soaking up everything I can right now.

My camera just got a charge so you can start expecting pictures again but for this week that's it...Sorry I still didn't explain much of what we do...

Mama's NOTE: I found the following pictures posted as part of transfers last week. Just call her Sister Super Woman!! :)

Wait! It's August?

This week we've done a lot more Visiting than in the past. And it was THE BEST! We went to visit some Members (who's entire back yard is a garden) and they gave us some veggies. Zucchini, squash and cucumbers. Needless to say, we'll be eating healthy the next little while.

I was also surprised when I cam in from going on splits with Sister Wimmer (member) with a Package!! 

Christmas in July! Sister Low thought it was just really late....But no...It was just a fun surprise. 

Hope all of you had an eventful week with fun surprises!
