Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

Hello, Wonderful Week!  Hope it was for you too! TUESDAY: Well Tuesday we had a lot of lessons planned, then they all fell through so instead we did a lot of finding. We stopped by this one house and they were just letting their dogs out so we got to pet two of their dogs who were very nice! One of them stayed a boy further back and made us a bit nervous but the owner was there so it was fine! We ended up having a good conversation with her though she wasn't interested. WEDNESDAY: We met with Sister Wilkinson! And when we went we thought it would just be Sister Wilkinson, then Autumn joined us and we just read to them from The Book of Mormon together! It was awesome! And Autumn was involved and commenting which she hasn't been the past few times we've gone!  We then showed up for youth night but it ended being somewhere else so we talked to the adults instead which was good! We also had a lesson with Jodi which was good! And we talked to someone named William who I had talk...

 Well, July is over, and I come home in August, so that's weird!  I'm ready but not ready at the same time.  Here are my updates: TUESDAY: We did weekly planning! We also had a lot of lessons since but we did have a really good one with our friend Wendy! We talked about Adam and Eve and why it needed to happen! We shared 2 Nephi 2:23-25 and Wendy was like, it makes sense, interesting way to look at it!  We also met with Kara, it's been a second because she's been struggling but it went well! WEDNESDAY: We finished weekly planning and had our last district council of the transfer! We also talked to someone who other missionaries had found, and we thought she didn't know much about our church. But then in our conversation we started to think she might be a member because she seems to know a lot of the terms.  so we set up another time to meet! We then drove up to Batavia for exchanges! I taught someone named the whole plan of salvation faster then I ever have befo...

 Hello Friends and Family! TUESDAY: We had a good meeting with Jodi! We were able to explain why we believe so much in The Book of Mormon, judging by how many books are out there, why this one! We talked about the pure truth that is in it and how it was written! We also talked about how it shows how much we need Jesus Christ and why we need Jesus Christ. We then stopped someone who I had met once last summer but afterwards we were never able to get in contact with her. We'll she was outside and remembered missionaries stopping by before! We were able to set up a time to come back!  We also saw some fireworks, they were some of those ground ones that send a stream of light and poppers into the air, we also got a little bit trapped by them. And then we had a lesson with Diana and it was very interesting, we could still barely understand her and neither could our member, but we sent her The Book of Mormon! WEDNESDAY: We met with Brother Wilkinson, he is an older member in a nursi...

 Happy 4th of July this week!  I love our Independence!  Here's my recap of last week: MONDAY:    So we have a newer friend, Carolynn and she had expressed interest in a Book of Mormon so we went to drop it off but she ended up moving and not being there anymore, so instead we had a great conversation with Chad! He has a Christian background and when we first started he was like what do you have new to offer me? So we talked a little bit about The Saviors atonement and he was like yes I know that part so we decided to bring in The Spirit world. He found  it interesting that people are allowed another chance. And he said it wasn't what his pastor had just told him. But he accepted a copy of The Book of Mormon and said we could come back in a month! WEDNESDAY:   We had interviews with President Gentry and had district council! We also had an awesome lesson with one of our members which was great! Otherwise a bit uneventful. THURSDAY:   W...

Hello! Here's the update of my week.  Time is flying!  I come home in August. But the work is going well, and I'm happy to be staying in Geneseo.  The Lord must really need me here.  I love it! TUESDAY: Well Tuesday went really well! We had an awesome meeting with our friend Jodi! We read 2 Nephi 2 and she had some deep questions about Adam and Eve and why they had to fall.   We then a lesson with someone I found 6 months ago, but wasn't quite ready 6 months ago.  He's ready now, and he has cute little girl named Genevieve who also wants to learn! We gave her a children's Book of Mormon in the lesson and pointed her to a chapter and she just started reading and it was so cute! We set up another lesson on Sunday!  WEDNESDAY:   We went on exchanges with the Batavia Sisters! Which was a lot of fun! We started out the morning knocking and eventually we knocked this guys door and had an interesting conversation with him, which took like 35 ...

 Hello everyone! Hola from New York!  (I'm still slowly learning Spanish) MONDAY: Well we had stopped by someone and his friend said he wasn't home but liked our smiles. And we were calling through people and we called this person named Steve. Hedidn't answer but then he called us back and was talking about his church and how much he enjoyed it, but then was like but I still want to explore your church. So we made sure he knew where it was and encouraged him to read his Book of Mormon! TUESDAY: We had service! Then we stopped by someone named Dave! He was someone we had talked to before and we fell out of contact, but then we got back in contact which was awesome! And we talked to some people which was fun!  WEDNESDAY: We had decided to call a person who had been actually been suggested by some other missionaries and we have been trying to get something set up for weeks, and we finally did! We shared a verse from The Book of Mormon and loved it! We also met w...
