Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

 Hi Friends and Family! MONDAY: I had to say goodbye to everyone which was very sad, I will definitely miss Geneseo! But onto new adventures in... Wellsville, New York. TUESDAY: Was the day of transfers so crazy like always. One of our members JOKINGLY asked us out for coffee, and one of our friends was half asleep during our lesson, overall it was a great first night.  THURSDAY: It was Thanksgiving! So we spent Thanksgiving with a member and had some good food, and then we went to another member's home for dinner. All in all much food, and a good day. SATURDAY: So we were out knocking in the late afternoon and we came to this one lady's house and she said "are you selling Jesus" and we were like, not exactly but we are talking about Jesus Christ. So she invited us in and had a good conversation. We also went over to a friend's house. Our friends are younger girls, 10 and 11, and their brother sits in sometimes as well, and the parents were on the outskirts but no...

Hello this week!  TUESDAY: So we had this awesome lessons with a part-member family. Where we went outside in our first snow and had them roleplay Book of Mormon stories. It was really fun! We used the children's Book but... it didn't have the whole story. So I had to make it up while making it kid-friendly. So the story was made and the story line was followed though Laban didn't die just slept.  WEDNESDAY: We had one of our friends to YW! Her name is Juliette! And at first she was a little bit separate not really involved. But as the night went on she got more involved and really started enjoying it! We also played volleyball and with some encouragement she joined and loved that as well! And she seems to want to come back! THURSDAY: So we were sitting in our car almost ready to start on something and I happen to look into the car next to me and... a friend we had a hard time keeping in contact with, Trish! So we jumped out of the car and walked around the store with her, ...

Hi Everyone, I got to plant seeds on the Hill Cumorah! More about that in a minute. WEDNESDAY:  We had a great lesson with another of our returning members and our active. It was awesome because they both connected so we were able to have this awesome lesson/conversation and a fool proof plan for coming to church! THURSDAY: We had Zone Conference which was a lot of fun! We also had a great lesson with a member who is less active and she started talking about church! We also had a very interesting discussion with someone about reincarnation and the other side. FRIDAY: Was so fun! So the church is currently working on restoring the Hill Cumorah to what it was when Joseph Smith found the plates. And a part of that project was planting many trees from seed. Well some of the missionaries got a chance to help with that. And I was was one! So we planted trees from seed on The Hill Cumorah which was absolutely amazing! And we got a tour afterwards during which I saw a snake.  we also ...

Hi All,  (Many pictures will be sent next week but I didn't quite have time or very many this week, sorry :) ) TUESDAY: We had a really good lesson with one of our returning members, and a member! Though it was really interesting because of the way it was all set up, and because of traffic I didn't hear much of their conversation  but she was really happy he got to join! We also had an interesting lesson with a part member family as well! They were pretty engaged! WEDNESDAY: It was a good day! We did exchanges and I went into an ASL area for the afternoon. It was a lot of fun! Very interesting though because my companion would be signing the lesson and I was kind of just sitting there unless prompted because I did nor know what they were saying. But it was a lot of fun! THURSDAY: So we had some really good lessons. And one big one was we were teaching two of our friends in a group lesson and as the lesson continued, a few of the neighborhood kids just came and joined the group...

  Hello everyone! Happy Halloween! We made cookies with our whole mission using zoom. Can you find me? TUESDAY: We had an awesome lesson with one of our friends Dan! It was very spirit filled, which was perfect because we were talking how we find spiritual truth through his spirit. And he seemed to understand which is always good! We also had some great lessons with members as well! WEDNESDAY: We heart-attacked one of our old friends which was so much fun! It's exciting never knowing weather you will get caught! We also visited a less active member which was fun! THURSDAY: We found a new friend! So we were knocking this one street and we saw a woman raking her leaves and we said, we should go help her. So we ran over and... she was already done  But we decided we would try knocking her door! And while she was less open at first as we explained more she became more interested! And by the end we had given her a Book of Mormon and set up a return appointment! Whoo,hoo Jen!  ...

 Hi All, I forgot to send this email last week, but here's my update still.  MONDAY: Most of our lessons got canceled that evening so we went finding! Which was awesome we were to find two people and set up return appointments! And when offered help to one of them they were so surprised, it was really awesome to see how offering help could touch someone. And we were able help Larry catch his cat so he didn't run away! TUESDAY: We had some amazing lessons with some new friends, Suzalynne and Dustain. Suzalynne was so ready to learn and we had a great discussion on how to handle trials. THURSDAY: Service was really fun! And we have a gathering of missionaries ever Wednesday. So this time at the end of our meeting a woman from the relief society came into the room we were meeting in and seem rather confused. Apparently they had been trying to set up for a relief society activity in the room we were in. So we got to help them so so, it was a lot of fun.  SATURDAY: We had a ch...
