Pictures! - July 3, 2023

 Happy 4th of July this week!  I love our Independence!  Here's my recap of last week:


MONDAY: 
 
So we have a newer friend, Carolynn and she had expressed interest in a Book of Mormon so we went to drop it off but she ended up moving and not being there anymore, so instead we had a great conversation with Chad! He has a Christian background and when we first started he was like what do you have new to offer me? So we talked a little bit about The Saviors atonement and he was like yes I know that part so we decided to bring in The Spirit world. He found  it interesting that people are allowed another chance. And he said it wasn't what his pastor had just told him. But he accepted a copy of The Book of Mormon and said we could come back in a month!

WEDNESDAY:
 
We had interviews with President Gentry and had district council! We also had an awesome lesson with one of our members which was great! Otherwise a bit uneventful.

THURSDAY:
 
We decided to go visit a bunch of people, and one of them was someone I had stopped by about 1 year ago in this area but it was just really hard to keep in contact because he never responded our texts or calls. Well this time after we stopped by he responded and we almost have a meeting set up with him! And we got to pet his horses! 
 
We also met with this woman named Wendy she is someone I believe I actually found 1 year ago, I think? And she wasn't ready then but she is now! We had an awesome lesson with her and she said she wanted to learn more about our church! Her father-in-law was also there and kept pulling her off track so we heard a lot of her family background, but he did accept a Book of Mormon at the end! And we set up times to come back!

FRIDAY:
 
We got in contact with Elizabeth again which was exciting! 
 
We also got a new preach my gospel and it's really cool! Highly suggest y'all look into it! 
 
We also called somebody who I think I found a year ago and set up a time to meet! Otherwise Friday was pretty quiet! 

SATURDAY:
 
While we were doing community service, I was standing there talking to someone, and a bug flew into my mouth!  There are a lot of mini bugs in New York and this one just flew right in! So I did what anyone should do...I swallowed it!  Luckily it didn't taste like much. Extra protein as they say.
 
We had a zone council, which was so much fun! We did a church history test trivia thing which was so much fun! 
 
And then that evening we were walking around this one area and someone called out, hey Sisters and we were like, huh! So this person, John ended up being an inactive member so he introduced us to his significant other and his other family and we set up a time to meet with him! 
 
And then we met with our on date friend and it went well, we talked the atonement and then ended up talking about prayers and scripture study! Which was awesome!
 
And then we met with Kara. She loves the missionaries so much.  She loves the gospel but has so much resistance from friends and family.

SUNDAY:
 
We had church which was fun! We also had a group lesson with Suzalyn and Kara which was fun! We ended up after the lesson talking about black and white movies!
 
 
We also went knocking and there was a man who mainly spoke Spanish with broken English and I speak English and have been learning Spanish and so I was trying to talk to him and we finally got his number so we could talk to him but as we were walking away we realized we forgot to ask for his name, and we were like nooo. 
 
And then we had a mission devotional to end off the week! It was fun!
 
This mission has taught me so much! And I hope I have made some small difference out here.  I love it!  I can feel the Lord's hand guiding me, and I've seen so many miracles.  He Lives!
 
Love,
Sister Paige Martin

May 23, 2022 - Rain in a Second

  TUESDAY: We had Zone Conference day #1. Elder Johnson of the seventy came which was cool.  There are also three Martin's in our mission, none related to each other. I also had exchanges. WEDNESDAY : Our catch up day. We had a lot of lessons! THURSDAY : Day #3 of zone conference. Another exchange. Within the exchange I got to do my first service on the mission  and I started a phone call in Spanish. Which was cool. FRIDAY : We had lessons and some finding. SATURDAY: It was soo hot. We got up to like 89sh. I was walking up a set of stairs and a huge bee stopped right in front  of my forehead before I stepped forward.   luckily I saw and stopped but I almost got stung by a bee.  We also has a storm Saturday evening., and the rain came on so fast it was bizarre.  I'm still trying to decide how I like the weather here, but I guess spring is unpredictable everywhere. SUNDAY: We went to church. We had lots of lessons and visited a older member in our w...

Baptism and everything! - June 5, 2023

Hello beautiful people,                                                        Sister Prall and I found some beautiful Daisies. MONDAY: We had an awesome lesson with one of our friends Chris! We talked about Jesus Christ and why he had to come!  And we called random people at the church which was a bit strange but good! TUESDAY: So we had a slightly distracted lesson with our new friend Bryan. (Not the recent convert) we tried talking about prophets which went well but he kept on going on tangents about false prophets and some other tangents. And pulling him back to the fact that there is a true prophet today was fun. But we think we got the point across! But we had an awesome lesson about The Prophet and The Priesthood with our recent convert Bryan which was amazing!  We talked with someone I was talking to on Fac...

Problems are Like a Washing Machine - August 7, 2023

Hello, Wonderful Week!  Hope it was for you too! TUESDAY: Well Tuesday we had a lot of lessons planned, then they all fell through so instead we did a lot of finding. We stopped by this one house and they were just letting their dogs out so we got to pet two of their dogs who were very nice! One of them stayed a boy further back and made us a bit nervous but the owner was there so it was fine! We ended up having a good conversation with her though she wasn't interested. WEDNESDAY: We met with Sister Wilkinson! And when we went we thought it would just be Sister Wilkinson, then Autumn joined us and we just read to them from The Book of Mormon together! It was awesome! And Autumn was involved and commenting which she hasn't been the past few times we've gone!  We then showed up for youth night but it ended being somewhere else so we talked to the adults instead which was good! We also had a lesson with Jodi which was good! And we talked to someone named William who I had talk...
