Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

 Hello Everyone, TUESDAY: We did service! Which was so much fun. Then we knocked doors and had lessons.  WEDNESDAY: So as missionaries we get referrals, or people who want to hear about the gospel. This one lady named Elizabeth referred herself. So we went over to her house and she was so excited to read the scriptures, and learn more about Christ. And as soon as we mentioned baptism, she knew that's what she wanted.  So we were able to put her on date!!!!!  THURSDAY: Thus comes the title. There was a tornado in Geneseo! I felt like I was in the Wizard of Oz. Luckily we were in a different town. So on our way home we were able to stop and help a member which was awesome!  Lot's of trees down. FRIDAY: We were able to have a awesome lesson with one of our members, Sister Hall. And we were able to have a great lesson with one of our friends on Date for baptism!  SATURDAY: So, Miracles abound here in Geneseo. We had set up a hiking lesson with one of our member...

  TUESDAY: W e knocked some doors! We also got a new car! WEDNESDAY: One of our members is deaf. So we had a lesson and I only got like 1/3 of it. I am trying to learn sign language!  We also had a funny call with one of our friends give a prayer in our call. She was so sweet! She prayed for me because I need some special help apparently, she also keeps calling me Sister Marian.  THURSDAY: We have been able to start teaching a family! So the two older kids are interested but the younger two haven't been interested in learning more. This week one of the younger kids said he was interested! Which was awesome. We also saw a Llama! So we were driving home from a lesson after a Llama had escaped from this tiny Llama farm. And the owners had caught it and were taking it back to the farm so we got a picture. The Llama is definitely posing.   And it makes it look like we're in a jungle. FRIDAY: Exchanges! I was able to go on a exchange to Latham which was awesome! And o...

Otherwise it was a pretty normal day. THURSDAY: We had lots of meetings and some lessons. FRIDAY : I got to go on a golf cart! So one of our members lives in a campsite because he's a fishing guide. He's also the one who goes around at night when it's time to quiet down to make sure everyone does so. So I got to ride a golf cart for the first time and a tour of the campground. SATURDAY: My phone is connected to our car for music but when the car plays music is sometimes delayed. So my companion and I had just finished a conversation and were in one of those quiet moments before someo...
