May 2, 2022 - Organist in a Transfer

 Transfer: a set amount of time a missionary could be in one place, normally 6 weeks.


THURSDAY
We had a warm day! It was so awesome. We did some finding and some lessons.
FRIDAY 
Exchanges! We did a companion switch with another set of sisters. So I went to their area, Glenville. One of their sisters came to Bennington for the night.
SATURDAY
We finished exchanges and switched back companions! We also grabbed lunch. Then we had a lot of lessons back in Bennington so by the end of the day I was exhausted. I also left my journal at the other sister's apartment so that's why this email is a bit shorter, sorry. Have I confused you enough?😅
SUNDAY
I played in church, and it's really good this branch can sing a capella, because I missed a line or two.🥴
After church the member in charge of music showed me the organ! Granted it's not a full organ. I don't think the pipes or pedals work but, an organ! I'm going to learn to play it!

Once church was over we had some good lessons. We felt prompted to go to this one neighborhood and we knocked at a house. A cute lady answered and invited us in, then walked away. An older man then told us they weren't interested in religion so we left. So that was weird.  We did give out two Book of Mormons at other houses though.
MONDAY
I wrote this.😉 did some shopping, Laundry, and cleaning. As well as call my family. 
- Love Sister Paige Martin.

Problems are Like a Washing Machine - August 7, 2023

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...

Horses and Bowling - August 29, 2022

 Hello! MONDAY: So each week we have a lesson with this cute member family. And this week we got all set up for a lesson and one of their friends knocked on the door and asked if they could play. And the members invited him to the lesson! We were able to have a great lesson with the members and their friend it was awesome! WEDNESDAY: We met the cutest girl named Kara today. She is so sweet and so excited to come closer to Christ! She also brought her friend with her. We were able to have a great lesson and give Kara a Book of Mormon. We were knocking this one road and we had passed this house but it kept nagging at me. So eventually we went back and we were able to explain part of the restoration and give him a Book if Mormon! It was such a testament to me of how God is in the details and how the spirit will direct us if we are listening! THURSDAY: We were able to have a great lesson with someone! Sadly they are in another missionaries area so we had to refer him, but hopefully he ...

There was a festival inn a town near Geneseo so being the missionaries we were, we decided to go! And on the way down to the festival there were some people moving trees into a truck so we offered to help and once we finished went on our merry way (important side note, the guys name was James and we helped him and his girlfriend. He had another friend, Ben in the trees whom we had not met at this point). We continued on to the festival and met some great people, even h...
