Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

 Hi All, A picture of me and my companion and the sunset. Title explanation: in our area we have a town called Nunday. We had gone to visit some inactive members in Nunday and they said the Indian name for it was Onundayo! (I'm sure I didn't spell it right but that's how it sounds) which means the hill before the hills! (If I remember correctly).  TUESDAY: So we had just baptized a 17 year old young man and we started having the after baptism lessons with him! Part way through he said something like: (paraphrasing here) "yeah I won't be able to go to a concert for two years. Immediately we hit pause on the lesson and said: "you're going on a mission?!" He said yes!!!! So we talked missions for the rest of the lesson, it was awesome!!! We put someone on Date! So our friend Lori has been taught on and off for the last 4 YEARS. And the missionary who found her, Karissa, had gone home but still kept in contact with Lori and joined most of our lessons from...

- Picture of me and my companions.   Hello everyone MONDAY: We went on a district hike. I skipped rocks for the first time in my life (I think) not very far or anything but... We also had this awesome lesson with a cute family in our ward. And they owned a lizard. I held during most of the lesson. TUESDAY: So we do service Tuesday for a food pantry! (We got to clean eggs.) and there are a lot of different people going in and out. But there is one lady who is a regular worker there. Later that afternoon we went knocking. And we knocked her house! It was a unexpected event.   THURSDAY: So Thursday we had been doing lots of knocking but we hadn't found anybody. Until we saw this man talking to someone in a truck. So we waved and said hi. He looked at us and said (something like) "hi ya'll proselytizing? I be with you in three minutes" so we waited and we had the best conversation with this man! Gave him a Book of Mormon and it was awesome! FRIDAY: So we have this awesome...

  Mike's Baptism! Hello Everyone.   MONDAY: On the 4th We got to go to a barbecue which was so much fun!!! Happy late 4th! We also had an awesome lesson with one of our friends, Maryella. It was very spirit filled and I loved getting to be able to be a part of it. WEDNESDAY: So we have had a hard time getting in contact with one of our friends Elizabeth. Well we got in contact! We were able to have an awesome lesson and find a way to get in contact! We also got to go to Young Women's which was awesome!  THURSDAY: We had two awesome lessons. One was with one of our members. We were talking about the Plan of Salvation and we went into some deep doctrine which was awesome!

 Hello Friends and Family, Last week's highlights! -We had Zone Conference which was so much fun! - We had our friend Mike, who is so awesome, finish the lessons! So he got baptized! It was a very special experience I loved it. We also had a 8 year old in our ward get baptized! So we had a double baptism. And both of them were named Mike.  We had a lesson with Mike in the Sacred Grove the week before he got baptized. -We were knocking, and one of those we knocked said we could come back so we did. It was so cool. He said he had started studying our church because we believed there were people here before the Native Americans, and he found artifacts that the Indians said were there before them! And I got to hold them, they felt like real metal! - So one of our members had someone suggest a prayer call thing. After our lesson we stayed with her for support.
