Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

  Hello everyone! I hope y'all's week has gone well!  TUESDAY: We had some really great lessons with our friends Wynelia and Sharon which was amazing!  WEDNESDAY: So we were knocking this trailer park that rather hidden and kind of in the middle on nowhere. And we knock on this one door and this lady Lori answered not being in the best emotional state. So my companion and I were like, ummm... But guess what... she was interested! She let us in and was like, I was looking for a church! She has such a strong love for God and Jesus Christ and is soo sweet!  We also got to have a great lesson with one of our members and join Y/W which was a lot of fun! THURSDAY: We went to service which is always a lot of fun. We also made two new friends Ben and Dan! (One of those names might be important to remember for later on.) We were also able to meet with Kara and Sharon which is always good! FRIDAY: We had a great lesson about sharing the gospel with someone of our members! We m...

We really helped her understand the church and how our leadership positions work! Thursday: We started exchanges! 2 other sisters came over and we split and conquered our area.

My companion and her exchange companion had put two of our friends on date! And I will include a video of a mission tradition we started; to celebrate. Also Thursday evening I attempted to do a back bend, something I used to do often, too fast and... instead of my hands finding the floor I basically just fell flat on my back, making an audible thud according to my companions. But I'm all good now! FRIDAY: W...

  Hello everyone! Zone Conference at the Peter Whitmer Farm From Last Week Monday: It was only one hotel but it was huge! It taught the different history of the town we were in, Caledonia, as well as surrounding towns. We had some great lessons with members afterwards. Including one where we acted out the story of Alma and Amulek to help them share the gospel, it was a lot of fun! TUESDAY: We got back in contact with Elizabeth! She is so sweet and so prepared! Her desire to be baptized and grow closer to Christ is so strong! During our discussion we asked if she still wanted to be baptized and she said yes we could either do it in two weeks,   (doing it in two weeks was already stressful the first time) before a medical procedure she is having or after.. we chose after. WEDNESDAY: So while we were from one lesson to another we saw this woman in a wheelchair carrying this heavy bag of groceries and we jumped out to help. Afterwards we asked if she would like to hear a mess...
