Sister Paige Martin. Syracuse, New York Mission

Greetings from Geneseo!                                                            Sister Prall and I went on a hike!   It's odd to be back in Geneseo.  I love the people here, but I feel so different because I've grown so much, while everything here seems to have stayed the same. I have to be careful to not go back into my shell, but train my new companion, and lead out.  Many members say I have the "post missionary glow!" I guess that's a thing.  I'm not done for 3 more months, but I really have grown a lot, which I'm grateful for. TUESDAY:  Well I went back to the food pantry from 6 months ago! Which was awesome! We colored brown paper bags and filled them for kids lunches! And we had some good lessons with some of our recent converts! WEDNESDAY: We had an area seventy, Elder McConkie wh...

 Hi All,                                                                          My new Companion Sister Prall! TUESDAY: We had some great lessons, and crazy afternoon because most of them went long  but we had a good lesson with our members the Bradford's, and they talked about someone they could share the gospel with! We also met with our recent concert for the last time for me . And we got to meet with Lisa so I could say bye! And we had a member meal with one of our members which was so much fun! WEDNESDAY: Well we had Transfers so the first part of it was crazy! But afterwards we traveled back to Geneseo! We did a lot of finding but we got to go to youth night! And I got to really surprise some of the youth as they were not expecting me back. It was fun! ...

Hello All,                                                                                               My District MONDAY: Well Monday went great! And in the evening we had the coolest contact! We had knocked this person's house and a man answered and we offered a message and he said no so we moved on. And then we were coming back down the street and at the same house met the man's significant other. And she was so excited to see us! She had met with elders in the past but then had moved so lost contact. But we found her! And she is setting up lessons and will hopefully come to church soon!  TUESDAY: We went on another exchange! Which was fun we played pickle ball, said a prayer with someone! And called i...

Hi All,   MONDAY: We had district p-day which was a lot of fun! TUESDAY: We played pickleball! We also had a lesson with our recent convert and set up a meal with her and her son!  Then we had another awesome love, share, invite with the Adam's family! Their little girl Holland has been bringing her friend, Makayla,  to church and we were able to set more plans! And Holland has another friend coming next week! Her friends mom might not know what church it is, but Makayla has been loving it!  WEDNESDAY: We had another lesson with Addison and used a homemade puzzle! We also met with some people who we have been trying to meet with for like 3 months. And it went so well! They were asking a lot of questions and we were going to gently take them into the restoration but then they asked for the history of our church...! So we explained the restoration, and where The Book of Mormon came in! And at the end the dad was like, do you have a copy of one of those books? And we ha...
